If you’re looking for disability lawyers in Cherokee, trust the experienced social security disability law firm of Drozdowski & Rabin.
What are Social Security Benefits?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) offers Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs to individuals in the United States who are unable to work due to a disability.
The SSDI program will provide benefits to individuals and certain family members as long as you have worked long enough–and recent enough–to have paid Social Security taxes. The SSI program provides benefits to individuals living with a disability who are unable to earn a livable income.
If you meet the requirements set forth by the SSA, you will receive monthly benefits. The application process can be confusing to handle on your own, which is why we recommend hiring a Social Security Disability lawyer.
The Cherokee, Tennessee disability attorneys at Drozdowski & Rabin have helped hundreds of Tennessee and North Carolina citizens receive the benefits they need to survive. Contact us today for your free consultation.
What is the Claims Process?
Our law office will work with you to fill out the application correctly and with the utmost amount of detail possible. The more information you have from medical professionals, doctor visits, insurance claims, employment details, bank records, and more, the better off you will be. We will work with you to gather the proper information to earn you an approval.
Once we complete and submit your application, the SSA will review it to determine whether you meet their basic requirements for disability benefits.
What Happens if You’re Denied?
We understand how deflating it can be to have your claim denied, but try not to worry too much. There are several options available to you after being denied. Whether you applied on your own or with the help of an attorney, Drozdowski & Rabin can help you appeal the decision.
An appeal needs to be filed within 60 days of receiving the initial decision. There are four different levels of appeal:
- Reconsideration
- A hearing before an administrative law judge
- Review by Social Security’s Appeals Council
- Federal Courts review
It may sound daunting, but we assure you that if you are eligible to receive benefits, it won’t be a difficult fight that last years in the court system. Our law firm will help you get the benefits you need and deserve when you need them.
