If you have a disability that is severe enough to keep you from working, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits.
Over the course of your career, you have automatically paid into the Social Security system through a dedicated payroll tax. Now that you have developed a condition that prevents you from being able to continue working, some of that money can come back to you in the form of regular payments from the Social Security Administration.
Even if you have a physical, mental, or neurological condition that meets the Administration's requirements, obtaining the benefits that you are entitled to can be very difficult without an experienced lawyer’s help. The application process is complicated, and you will need to provide supporting medical evidence. Oftentimes, claims are initially rejected by the SSA.
Whether you are starting from scratch, or looking to file an appeal for a rejected claim, MCV Law is here for you. Our experienced Social Security Disability attorneys can guide you through the application process, help you gather necessary medical evidence, and represent you in any hearings that are scheduled by the SSA. We have won benefits for members of the Oswego community for decades, and personalize our services to address the specific needs of every new client we represent. We know exactly what kind of evidence you will need to support your claim, and maximize its chances of being approved by the SSA.
How a Social Security Disability lawyer can help:
At MCV Law, we do not believe in a cookie cutter approach to legal representation. We will tailor our services to address the specific impacts that your condition has on your life, and help you structure your Social Security Disability claim in a way that proves that your condition is so debilitating that it keeps you from being able to work. Different conditions can prevent people from being able to work in different ways, and no two cases are exactly the same.
Depending on severity, conditions that can entitle you to Social Security Disability benefits may include:
- Chronic pain
- Autoimmune disorders
- Cardiovascular disorders
- Musculoskeletal disorders
- Respiratory disorders
- Cancers
- PTSD
- And more
If you would like to learn whether your specific condition may entitle you to benefits, we welcome you to give us a call. Based on the details of your diagnosis and work history, one of our Social Security Disability attorneys can provide you with a detailed assessment of how likely it is that your claim would be approved by the SSA. We can then guide you through the steps of developing a strong theory, gathering medical evidence/opinions, and submitting your application.
How much does an SSD lawyer cost?
At MCV Law, our Social Security Disability lawyers operate on a contingency basis. Our fee is a small percentage of the total benefits awarded to you by the SSA. We offer free initial consultations, and will not charge you anything for our services until we win you the benefits that you are entitled to under the law. Our goal is to help you reach yours. We win when you win.
How will the SSA evaluate your claim?
Once the SSA has established the existence of your impairment, it will consider evidence to assess the extent to which your impairment affects your ability to function in a working setting. The provided evidence must be detailed enough for the SSA to determine:
- Nature and severity of the impairments
- How long you have experienced the impairments
- Whether or not you can still do work-related physical and mental activities with the impairments
Without sufficient medical evidence, the SSA will have no way to make these determinations. Based on your specific condition, you will likely need to provide certain kinds of test results, doctor’s opinions, etc. to help you make a case. Our experienced team can help you craft a strategy that is designed to strengthen your claim based on the nature of your condition and its impact on your ability to work.
