Social Security Disability Law

What does it take to get Social Security Disability benefits? For everyone it can vary. At the beginning of trying to establish your eligibility, you may want to get a consultation from an Attorney to know how to move forward. There is more than one kind of claim you can file and different ways to determine which one you will qualify for. Other than that, everyone’s conditions vary from person to person. Not everyone who has a cardiac condition, for example, will immediately get their benefits once they prove to a medical examiner that they were diagnosed with said illness.

Although this isn’t like Workers’ Comp, where you had to be injured on the job to qualify for certain benefits, if you were injured on the job and the injuries result in long-term debilitating conditions, then you could still qualify for Social Security Disability benefits.

Some people are born already having debilitating conditions, and as they grow, this could affect their ability to handle their day-to-day tasks in school or their ability to socialize with other kids their age. And if they meet qualifying criteria, a child can receive SSI benefits for such disabilities.

On the other hand, others develop them through external factors, such as a traumatic event. For example, many veterans are likely to suffer from PTSD, Tinnitus, knee conditions, lumbar and cervical strains, migraines, and paralysis, so they could qualify for Social Security Disability benefits in addition to their pension, especially if their disability rating is very high.

And even in circumstances outside of pre-existing conditions etc, if you were involved in an accident that results in long-term injuries, you may want to consult with an attorney about your eligibility as well. Sometimes you can even file for a Social Security Disability while you’re waiting to receive benefits such as Worker’s Comp, and vice versa so there’s often no real reason to delay applying for both types of benefits.

It’s the Social Security Administration’s job to determine whether you meet a disability listing. Disability listings are lists of conditions that affect different parts of the body and the criteria it takes to meet the listing depending on what someone claims on their application. There is a relatively wide variety of listings, and with a good Attorney on your hands, chances are they will know what listing applies to you and do what it takes to prove you meet it.

Grass Valley Social Security Law

Disability Claim Lawyer in Roseville

If you find you can no longer work at your regular job, it is often a good idea to call one of your local Grass Valley Social Security lawyers. It’s never too late nor too early to find out if you are eligible, and our team of professionals at Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center can help you investigate your eligibility so that you do not feel alone during the process.

Why apply for Social Security benefits?

The most available program for disability benefits is the Social Security Disability Insurance program (SSDI) as well as the Supplemental Security Income program (SSI) which are both provided by Social Security which most people are entitled to if they have the earnings history needed or if you otherwise fall under a certain income level.  While being unable to work your regular job alone is not enough to qualify for SSDI or SSI, it may mean you’ve suffered a job related injury, either because of a specific injury OR because of cumulative stress on a body part over time.

For Social Security Disability or SSI purposes, you must provide adequate information to prove you are unable to work your current job and also unable to work basically at any job for at least a year.  You must supply medical proof of the ailments that deem you incapable of work. Grass Valley Social Security lawyers will be able to determine if you are eligible if you have proof that shows you can’t really do any sort of work for twelve months or more due to your medical conditions (whether physical or mental or a combination). You don’t need to wait the whole 12 months to apply.

Why contact an Attorney?

With the amount of experience we have in the field, we can make the process easier for you and be there for you every step of the way. Social Security has deadlines, proceedings, and rules that might be hard to follow but that we know all too well. We can work closely with your doctors to get the right documentation to support your case and act as a bridge between your doctors and Social Security.

Not only that, but most of these cases also go to the hearing level.  it is a trial in front of a judge, and an attorney’s input, guidance and support is very important.  Early legal intervention is the key to not only ensuring your case may not have to be escalated to that level, but Grass Valley Social Security lawyers can help represent you in front of an Administrative Law Judge if that were to happen.

No matter what the case may be, make sure to contact Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center as soon as possible, as more likely than not there is a time limit to file or appeal a claim. Time is of the essence, and we will make sure to use this time efficiently to get you the help you need and deserve.
