Brooklyn SSD Claims Attorneys
Epilepsy is a serious medical condition which may impair an individual's ability to work. While many people who have epilepsy do work, there are many others who find the demands of the workplace difficult to manage due to the challenges imposed by their medical condition.
If your ability to work has been significantly impaired due to epilepsy, you may be eligible to receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. If you need help with an application or your application for SSDI benefits has been denied, contact an experienced Social Security Disability lawyer at the Robert A. Koenigsberg Law Offices in New York City.
Proving Your Eligibility
To receive SSDI benefits, you must prove that you suffer from a physical or mental disability that is expected to significantly impair your ability to work for at least one year. To do so, we will carefully document how epilepsy has impacted your ability to work:
- You may have difficulty finding adequate transportation to work.
- You may have faced setbacks in your education or career training.
- You may have encountered workplace discrimination.
- Seizures and other complications arising from your medical condition may impair your ability to maintain gainful employment.
At the Robert A. Koenigsberg Law Offices, we have helped hundreds of people in Social Security Disability claims. If you have already applied for benefits and been denied, you can rely on us to build a strong case for the benefits you need. We have helped many people obtain benefits whose initial application was denied.
If you do not qualify for SSDI benefits, we may be able to help you obtain Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a benefit that is available for people who have limited income and assets and who are 65 or older, blind or disabled. Since SSI benefits do not require a work history, people who are not eligible for SSDI benefits may be eligible to receive SSI benefits.
