If you have a severe disability that prevents you from working, please know that you have options, and we are here to help you understand them. Depending on your condition, age, work history, and other Social Security Administration (SSA) eligibility factors, you may qualify for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits.

Throughout your career, you have paid into the Social Security system through payroll taxes. If you face a debilitating physical, mental, or neurological condition that has kept you from being able to continue working, you may be able to reclaim some of that money in the form of ongoing SSD benefits. However, even if you have a qualifying condition, obtaining the benefits you deserve can be challenging. The SSD application process is complex, and most initial claims are denied.
MCV Law is here to help.
Whether you're exploring your legal options and filing an SSD claim for the first time or appealing a denial from the Social Security Administration, our experienced Social Security Disability lawyers are here to support you. We can simplify this confusing process, avoid critical mistakes, and help you create a well-structured claim to increase your chances of being approved for benefits.

"Kim Slimbaugh got me the disability benefits I needed so desperately as a disabled single mom of 2, unable to work, I had no hope of winning my case because of my age, but Kim stuck by me and didn't give up and she got me the benefits my family needs to survive. I don't know what I would have done without her, she's truly a hero!"

What types of disabilities may qualify you for SSD benefits?
A wide variety of conditions can make you eligible for Social Security Disability benefits. Any severe physical, mental, or neurological disability that hinders your ability to work could potentially meet the Social Security Administration’s criteria. Common disabilities include:
- Heart conditions
- Chronic pain
- Respiratory issues
- Cancers
- PTSD
- Musculoskeletal disorders
- Autoimmune diseases
- Epilepsy
- Alzheimer’s
- And more
There are other eligibility factors the Social Security Administration will consider besides your disability and its impact on your ability to work. Your work history and age are other major determinants. Workers over 50, for example, are subject to a different set of SSA rules that make it easier to secure benefits.
We know exactly what kind of information, mistakes, and disqualifiers the SSA looks for when reviewing an application for benefits. When you consult with our team, we will take a holistic approach that factors in every relevant detail and eligibility standard. With MCV Law’s guidance, you can move forward with confidence, knowing that our proven strategy is designed to maximize your chance of securing benefits.
MCV Law has helped hundreds of Social Security Disability claimants secure the ongoing benefits they need. We are here to help you next.

"Kimberly and her team at MCV Law communicated clearly, effectively and efficiently. They significantly reduced the amount of stress in my SSDI appeal and hearing by managing the medical records and paperwork and letting me know what to expect along the way.
