What Types of Social Security Disability Cases Does Lawrence & Associates Take?
Pursuing Social Security Disability benefits is not a lawsuit against another person. It’s a claim for benefits you’ve paid into through your work history. These claims come in many forms, each with its own rules and challenges.
- Disabled Worker Benefits
Disabled Worker benefits are available to people who have paid into Social Security but are no longer able to work due to a qualifying medical condition. - Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
SSI provides benefits to disabled individuals with limited income and resources, often involving strict financial requirements. - Childhood Disability Benefits
Children with serious physical, developmental, or neurological conditions may qualify for disability benefits. - Retired Worker Benefits
Some individuals receiving retirement benefits may qualify for disability-related benefits, prior to full retirement age, tied to their work history.
How Can a Social Security Disability Lawyer Help?
Our focus is simple: reduce stress, protect your rights, and give your claim the attention it deserves. The Social Security Disability application process can be overwhelming, and the paperwork is meticulous, but working with an SSDI lawyer helps ensure your case is handled correctly from the start.
We’ll help you prepare a claim that reflects the genuine impact your condition has had on your ability to work by gathering medical records, physician statements, and other key evidence. Then, we review your employment history to confirm eligibility and help calculate work credits to confirm your qualification. When needed, we’ll also help document your residual function capacity for SSDI benefits, showing the practical limits your condition places on sustained work activity.
If your claim is denied, we review the decision, explain your options, and handle the appeals process on your behalf. Throughout your case, our attorneys manage communication with Social Security and provide consistent updates, so you’re never left wondering where your case stands and what comes next.
Top 5 Questions About Social Security Disability Claims
Do I Qualify for Social Security Disability Benefits?
Eligibility depends on your work history, income, and whether your medical condition meets Social Security’s standards for disability. The Social Security Disability listing of impairments outlines medical conditions that may qualify for SSD benefits; however, individual circumstances still play a role.
How Long Does It Take to Get a Decision?
Initial decisions often take several months, but appeals can take longer. Delays are common, which is why having an experienced lawyer monitor deadlines, follow up on requests, and keep your case moving forward eases the stress.
Why Are So Many Disability Claims Denied?
Most denials occur due to missing medical records, incomplete applications, or a lack of clear evidence demonstrating how a condition limits an individual's ability to work. A denial doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t qualify, but could instead mean more information is needed.
Do I Need a Lawyer or Representative?
You are not required to have a lawyer, but having one can ease the stress and burden of filing alone. A Social Security Disability lawyer helps ensure your application is complete, deadlines are met, and appeals are handled properly if your claim is denied.
How Much Will I Receive in Benefits?
Benefit amounts vary based on factors like work history, earnings, and the type of benefit you qualify for.
