New York City Social Security Disability Benefits Lawyers
To be eligible to receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, you must be able to demonstrate that you have a physical disability, mental disability or a combination of the two, that is expected to significantly impair your ability to work for at least 12 months or which may cause death.
The term disability refers to any physical impairment, mental disorder, brain impairment, disease, injury or other serious condition that significantly impairs your ability to work. Visit our sections on physical disability and mental disorders to learn more about specific conditions that may qualify you for Social Security Disability benefits or contact a knowledgeable SSDI lawyer at our firm to learn more.
Work Impairment
You will not be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits unless your physical and/or mental conditions impair your ability to work at any job. Even if you are unable to return to your previous occupation, you are not eligible for benefits unless you are unable to transition to a new occupation. Your education, work history, age and other factors will be taken into consideration along with the limitations imposed by your physical or mental disability to determine if you are capable of finding gainful employment.
If retained to handle your case, our job is to clearly communicate how your physical or mental impairments have impacted your ability to work. We take a comprehensive look at your situation and use our knowledge of Social Security Disability laws to make a compelling argument for you.
