If you have worked for years and suddenly find yourself disabled due to injury, illness, or disease, then it may be time to consider filing for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits. Our Oakland SSD attorneys at JML Law are here to help. Even if you have been turned down for SSD benefits, our seasoned and experienced attorneys will work diligently to help you prove the existence of your condition to disability examiners or, if necessary, to an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ).
If you are living with a disability, you may be able to collect monthly SSD benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA). The amount you collect is based on how much you have paid into the Social Security system over the years via payroll tax. SSA rules require that applicants for SSD have been disabled for a minimum of 12 months or expect to be disabled for 12 months or longer. Some of the most common conditions that result in successful SSD benefits claims include:
Being disabled limits your ability to earn a decent living, but you are not alone. JML Law’s team of experienced Oakdale SSD attorneys can help you get the benefits that you deserve. Unfortunately, most people—around seven out of 10—are initially denied SSD benefits, and if that is true of your situation, then it is imperative that you contact an attorney for help right away. The SSA limits the amount of time that claimants have to file for reconsideration or appeal of the decision in their cases.
Some reasons that SSD claims are denied include:
