Social Security Disability

Social Security Disability Lawyer - Gulfport, Mississippi

Coping with a disabling injury is difficult. You are faced with the realization that earning an income is unattainable and now must pursue relief through the Social Security system. Not only must you endure your injury and the treatment for your injury, you must also navigate the complex waters of pursuing Social Security disability benefits - a process that anyone can get lost in.

At the Gulfport law firm of Andrew C. Burrell, we help clients throughout the entire process of obtaining Social Security disability benefits. We help clients understand their rights and overcome the setbacks of benefit denial. Contact us for experienced legal help in the Gulfport area.

Social Security Disability Benefits Denied?

If your initial application for SSDI benefits has been denied, do not be discouraged. Many initial application claims are denied by the Social Security Administration (SSA). Our law firm helps clients understand their right to appeal this decision and helps them through the process.

Eligibility for Social Security Disability

People working in the United States are contributing into the Social Security fund with deductions from every pay check. While we all hope to never need benefits from this fund, we understand that this fund is there when the time of need arises. However, actual eligibility is not as straightforward as many believe. For example, people who have not contributed to the fund for a sufficient number of years may not be eligible for SSDI benefits. They may, however, be eligible for SSI benefits (Supplemental Security Income).

The following are criteria for obtaining monthly benefits under SSDI:

• A medical condition/disability renders you incapable of working
• The disability/medical condition is expected to last at least one year
• You have worked sufficient time in the years/quarters preceding your injury, disability or medical condition

Our firm can help you determine whether you are eligible for benefits and present a strong argument on your behalf in reconsideration hearings and SSD appeals. We collect necessary medical documentation and other evidence to ensure your application is fully supported. In addition, once benefits are approved, we work to recover rightful back benefits on your behalf.

If you have questions about Social Security disability or need quality legal help pursuing rightful disability benefits, our Gulfport law office can assist you. Contact us to schedule a free consultation.
