Social Security Disability

Are you unable to work because of a physical, emotional or mental disability?

You may be unable to work for a year or more because of a mental, emotional or physical disability brought about by injury or illness. Your family may be caring for a child with special needs, If so, you may be eligible for valuable benefits that will allow you to take care of your family under either the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. For more information, continue reading or contact our SSDI/SSI law office with your questions.

Do I need a Social Security Disability Lawyer to get those benefits?

Certainly you can apply for Social Security Disability benefits without a lawyer. However, the majority of applicants trying to establish Social Security Disability eligibility are turned down. Most of the people who get Social Security Disability benefits are awarded them after a hearing in which they are represented by a lawyer. If you lose at the hearing, the next step is an appeal where you are limited to the information presented at the hearing.

When should I apply for SSDI/SSI benefits?

Even if you expect to be back at work within a year of your illness or injury, you need to apply as soon as it appears your disability will go on for six months or more. Sometimes the disability lasts longer than anticipated. The sad thing is it takes the Social Security Administration a long time to process a claim and if you wait to be disabled for a full year before applying it may be two years or more before you are approved for benefits.

The Social Security Disability lawyers at David Allen & Associates achieved success for approximately 90 percent of the clients we represented over the last 20 years. If you are discouraged by the Social Security disability application process and the time it is taking, or if you were denied benefits and a hearing or want to discuss an appeal, contact an attorney at our Sacramento or Stockton, California, or Reno, Nevada, office and make arrangements for a free consultation. We will carefully document your disability, work history, and your skills.

If you don’t collect benefits after working with us, you owe us nothing.

Our attorneys’ fees are established by law, and are 25 percent of your past-due benefits. The past due benefits are those which are owed to you by the Social Security Administration at the time we are successful in getting it to find you disabled. This usually happens at a hearing in which we present evidence and argue for you. After that, all the benefits you are paid for the rest of your life belong to you alone. You may have another claim for benefits as well as Social Security Disability Insurance and SSI.

If your disability is the result of an accidental injury or if you have disability insurance which you purchased either through your employer or individually, you may be eligible for benefits from more than one source. Our lawyers will identify these sources and help you with any claim in addition to your claim for SSDI/SSI benefits.
