Social Security Disability

If you are considering applying for Social Security disability (SSD) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, there are things you need to know about the process. For one, it can be complex and confusing to fill out the paperwork and make sure you are taking all the necessary steps to increase the chance that you are approved.

Attorney Jim Haupt & Melissa Pantazi handle SSD and SSI Disability Claims

Here are some of the questions we can help you answer:

  • Do I Qualify? – This is the biggest question that most people have when it comes to SSD and SSI benefits. Our experienced personal injury attorneys can help you determine whether you are eligible to receive benefits during a free phone consultation.
  • How to File? – Having an attorney to help with all the paperwork that must be filed – and deadlines that must be met – can make the entire process a lot easier to deal with.
  • What About Denied Claims? – Many times, people need to file an appeal more than once before they are found to be eligible to get social security disability benefits. We can help with the SSI and SSD appeal process.
  • What Benefits Can be Received? – The amount of benefits that will be received on a monthly basis will vary depending on a number of different factors. We can help make sure you get everything you are entitled by law.
  • Is there Medical Evidence Required? – This is a common question and one that we can help you answer, letting you know what will be expected when you fill out the paperwork and whether having medical evidence will increase your chance of successfully filing and getting SSI or SSD benefits.
  • What About Mental Health Claims? – In some cases, mental health problems may be eligible for SSD or SSI benefits. We can help you determine whether or not your mental health problems are covered under the law.
