Rebuild Your Future After An Injury

Attorney Benjamin M. Salyers

Guiding People Through The Social Security Disability (SSD) Process

If you can’t work due to an injury, illness or other disabling condition, you may be eligible to receive Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits. In fact, if you have worked recently, you have probably paid into the Social Security system. However, it is not easy to be approved for these benefits. The Social Security Administration (SSA) looks carefully at every disability application. In fact, the SSA denies a majority of initial applications.

Many times, the SSA denies these claims because the applicants fail to provide enough evidence. If your SSD claim has been denied or if you are thinking about filing for SSD, having a lawyer on your side can be very helpful. At Salyers Law, PLLC, I can help disabled workers recover the SSD benefits they are entitled to as well as help workers who have suffered disabling injuries on the job recover workers’ compensation benefits.

How Do You Prove That You Are Eligible For SSD?

In order to recover SSD benefits, you will need to show the following:

  • You cannot do the work you once did, and your current medical condition prevents you from doing different work.
  • Your disabling condition prevents you from working.
  • Your disabling condition has lasted for one year, is expected to last for one year or longer, or will lead to your death.
  • You need to have worked long enough over a certain period of time.

In short, the SSA needs a lot of proof before it will approve a disability claim. This is where I come in. With over 20 years of experience, I understand the Social Security appeals process. I will work closely with you and your medical providers to build a strong case that will help you get the benefits you need.

What If Your Claim Is Denied?

Unfortunately, claim denials are more common than you may think. Your claim may be denied for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Insufficient number of recent work credits
  • Insufficient medical evidence
  • Ineligible medical condition
  • Prior denials

Despite a denied claim, you shouldn’t lose hope. My years of experience handling these cases make me uniquely skilled in navigating the appeals process. I understand how difficult it can be to receive a denial, and I’m here to help reassure you and advocate further on your behalf. Let me reevaluate your case, build a new strategy and push forward to get you the benefits you deserve.
