Lincoln, Nebraska, Social Security Disability Claims
Social Security Disability (SSDI) may be available to you if you have suffered an injury or if an illness prevents you from working. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) may also be available for those people that are aged, blind, or disabled and have little or no income. At the law office of Gary R. Pearson, I provide strong legal advocacy and support to clients who are in financial need and are seeking Social Security Disability or Supplemental Security Income.
Even if your claim has been denied in the past, it is important to consult with a lawyer who knows how to protect your rights and effectively file for benefits. In my career, I have never had an appeal denied. Contact me for more information about SSDI, SSI and the benefits to which you might be entitled.
What is Social Security Disability?
Social Security Disability is a government-provided insurance system designed to help with financial hardships that may occur throughout your life. Eligibility for SSDI benefits is based on what you have paid into Social Security during your lifetime. SSI, on the other hand, is not based on what you have paid into Social Security, but is based on your financial need.
Who Can Apply for Social Security Disability Benefits?
If you are physically or mentally disabled from work, you may qualify for benefits regardless of your age. It costs nothing to apply for Social Security Disability. Disabled minors and others who have not been able to work due to a disease or disability may be entitled to Supplemental Security Income. Even if you are unable to work because of alcohol or addiction, you may have an underlying disease or illness that prevents you from working. I can investigate your case and present the necessary documentation to the government in an effort to obtain benefits for you.
Do I Need an Attorney to Collect Social Security Benefits?
Filing for Social Security Disability requires a record of your illness or disease and the collecting of medical documentation and your work history. It also requires that this be accomplished within a certain timeline. An experienced attorney can collect necessary medical records, contact witnesses, and effectively file your application in a timely manner. According to the law, all claimants have the right to have an attorney represent them in their Social Security Disability claim.
