Western New York Social Security Disability Attorneys<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) \u00a0is the federal program that provides benefits for injured or sick people who can no longer work. The rules determining who qualifies for assistance and how much money they receive are complex and the majority of applicants are denied the first time they request benefits.<\/p>\n

Hiring an experienced Social Security disability benefits lawyer can greatly improve your chances for being approved. The attorneys at Nicholas, Perot, Smith, Bernhardt & Zosh<\/strong> are proud to have the chance to help applicants\u00a0in Western New York navigate the often confusing application process. We know the ins and outs of the system and\u00a0use that knowledge to\u00a0ensure our clients’ applications\u00a0are\u00a0prepared and submitted\u00a0accurately and in a timely manner.<\/p>\n

In addition to proving you can no longer hold a job due to mental or physical health problems, eligibility is\u00a0restricted\u00a0to\u00a0those who have\u00a0paid a\u00a0required amount in Social Security taxes when they were working. Applicants\u00a0who have not paid enough may still qualify for\u00a0Supplemental Security Income (SSI), but this\u00a0requires proof of\u00a0low income.<\/p>\n

Dependents of people receiving SSDI benefits may also qualify to receive money. Keep in mind, you\u00a0can\u00a0only receive SSDI until you reach\u00a0retirement age, when you become eligible\u00a0for those benefits.<\/p>\n

Filing a Claim<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Social Security Disability claims may be done online, by phone or in person at any Social Security office. The application\u00a0asks for\u00a0work and medical history, and applicants\u00a0must present a diagnosis or assessment of the disabling injury or condition from their doctor or appropriate health care provider. The Social Security Administration (SSA)\u00a0also\u00a0requests copies of tax returns and W-2 forms to determine work and payment history.<\/p>\n

The application process has a lot of opportunities\u00a0for mistakes and omitted\u00a0files, leading to\u00a0denial of the\u00a0claim.\u00a0Some applicants report submitting everything correctly and still being denied. It can seem overwhelming to the average person and that’s why it’s helpful to hire a reliable disability lawyer like the legal professionals at Nicholas, Perot, Smith, Bernhardt & Zosh<\/strong>. We will not only explain the entire application process, but we’ll also take over and act on your behalf, greatly improving your chances to get approved.<\/p>\n
