Collecting Social Security Disability
If you are injured, disabled or suffer a disease that renders you unable to work, you may be entitled to Social Security Disability benefits. Unfortunately, the process of filing and collecting benefits can be arduous, time consuming and frustrating if you are initially denied. At the Law Offices of Harold H. Parker, we are dedicated to helping clients file SSD claims, present appropriate documentation, and pursue appeals when necessary to successfully recover benefits. Our Murfreesboro Social Security Disability attorneys serve clients throughout Tennessee and will work to help you collect the benefits you need and deserve.
Social Security Disability — Know Your Rights and Options
There are two types of Social Security Disability. Social Security Income (SSI) is available to individuals who have been working at least six months in the previous five years and paying into the Social Security system. These individuals will qualify for payments in a substantial amount in accordance with an insurance fund. Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) is for individuals who have not worked in the last five years and the amount may be significantly lower.
Denied Social Security Disability
Many claims are denied upon first application, so it is important that you work with an advocate upon appeal. Claims may be denied for lack of documentation, lack of medical evidence, or if the disability or injury does not meet requirements for benefits assistance. Our lawyers will review documentation of your injury, assess your claim, and help you collect and present relevant evidence, including medical documentation. We will collect information about where you received treatment, what doctors you have seen, any treatment you have seen and present all relevant information to the Social Security Administration.
Remember, there is no cost to retain our services, and we only collect a fee if we are able to collect benefits.
