SSD Appeals

Baton Rouge Disability Appeals Lawyer

Most Social Security Disability (SSD) claims are rejected the first time they are presented to the Social Security Administration. Every person whose claim is rejected has the right to appeal the decision. When a condition is a true disability and the SSD appeal is properly prepared and argued, the claimant has a very good chance of obtaining approval of the claim.

At Derren S. Johnson & Associates, we have helped thousands of clients get the benefits they need and deserve. We may be able to help you get approved for Social Security Disability benefits.

A Confusing and Complicated Process

The rules for the SSD program are strict, and the claim must include all of the required information, using language acceptable to the government. In the appeal of an SSD claim, experience can make the difference. At Derren S. Johnson & Associates, we have experience in both initial SSD claims and appeals. We know how to present your claim to the government using the language they demand, and we can represent you before the administrative law judge who will hear your appeal.

Making Ends Meet While Waiting For Approval

Even after your appeal is filed, you may wait 12 to 18 months for your hearing. Many of our SSD clients face financial hardship because they cannot work. As debt relief and bankruptcy lawyers, we may be able to help you obtain debt relief through a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing. We can stop home foreclosure and vehicle repossession to give you the financial breathing room you need until your claim is approved.

We can also help you seek Supplemental Security Income (SSI) which may provide you with additional income beyond what is offered through SSD.
