SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY
Obtain Social Security Disability Benefits
Many individuals work their entire lives only to have their livelihoods taken away from them by illness or injury. Without an income, many of these individuals have trouble making ends meet or even face foreclosure.
The Law Offices of Proctor & Kole take great pride in having assisted, literally, thousands and thousands of disabled individuals who have suffered serious physical or mental illness or injury in obtaining their Social Security Disability benefits. If you or someone you love has or is considering applying for Social Security Disability Insurance or Supplemental Security Income benefits, call our offices today to speak with one of our attorneys and learn how we can be of assistance.
How Does Social Security Decide If I Am Disabled?
In very general terms, Social Security defines disability as the inability to work for at least a period of one year. The Social Security Administration takes into account such things as your age, education, the sort of work that you have performed in the past, what medical conditions you have, and how those conditions limit you.
Do I Need A Lawyer In My Social Security Case?
It is not absolutely necessary that you have an attorney represent you, but statistics show that the chance of being awarded benefits increases significantly when you hire an attorney. The Social Security process can be confusing, complicated and stressful. It helps to have an attorney who is familiar with all of the laws, paperwork and procedures to handle the various appeals, obtain all of the necessary evidence and, as in most cases, appear before a judge to argue your case. The attorneys at Proctor & Kole each have over 25 years of experience in handling Social Security cases from beginning to end. Call our offices today to speak with one of attorneys and see how we can help you with your case.
