Social Security Disability Claims

Benefits under the Social Security Disability program provide financial support to people and certain family members when the wage-earner is unable to work for a year or more, or if death is expected. There are several areas of concern that are included in making the decision to grant these benefits to an applicant. Many claims are initially denied; with proper legal assistance, your chances of winning these benefits are much improved.

Two important points of concern under this program include:

  • Medical condition and prospects for return to work – must be 100% disabled for a period of one year or longer. Person also must not be able to do other substantial and gainful activity (SGA) that exceeds a set amount. In 2016, this SGA amount is $1130 monthly.
  • If the claim is an appeal of a prior denial – about half of all appeals are approved. For initial applications, only about 3 of 10 persons are approved.

When you are unable to work, the bills will pile up quickly. You could lose your home or have a very hard time financially until you are again able to work. If your injuries are severe or life-threatening, you may never recover financially. This is why you need to consult with Attorney Dan R. Hyatt today, to determine your best course of action is to qualify for and win these benefits.
