Brooklyn Social Security Disability Attorneys
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits are paid to individuals who have a physical or mental disability, or a combination of the two, that is expected to significantly impair their ability to work for at least 12 months. In many cases, people who are eligible for benefits suffer from a variety of medical conditions which, when combined, make it impossible for them to maintain gainful employment. For example:
- You may have back pain, neck pain, high blood pressure or breathing problems which are exacerbated by obesity.
- You may have lost an arm in an accident, and you may now be experiencing severe arthritis in your other arm that impairs your ability to work.
- You may suffer from a mental health problem that is combined with a physical impairment. For example, you may suffer from both panic attacks and severe migraine headaches.
- You may suffer from multiple mental health challenges, including severe depression, anxiety and agoraphobia.
If retained to handle your SSDI case, we will take time to understand how all of your conditions are impacting your ability to work. To be eligible for benefits, we must prove that you are unable to work at any job. Even if you are unable to return to work in your chosen profession, you will be denied benefits if you are able to work in another field of employment.
Therefore, it is critical that we fully detail how all of your medical and/or mental impairments have impacted your ability to work. Fortunately, our attorneys are highly skilled at handling complex SSDI claims. We have helped hundreds of clients in SSDI cases, and we have a strong record of results in SSDI appeals. If your application for benefits has been denied, you can rely on us for the thorough, skilled and personalized legal support you need.
