Social Security Disability
Baton Rouge Social Security Disability Appeals Attorney
If you are disabled and unable to work and lack the financial resources to provide for yourself, you may be entitled to benefits under the Social Security Disability (SSD) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs. Qualifying is not always easy, however, even if you are obviously disabled. As experienced Social Security Disability lawyers, Derren S. Johnson & Associates may be able to help you obtain the benefits you deserve after your initial claim has been denied. To qualify for the program, your claim has to pass the strict review of the Social Security Administration. To prevent fraud, it rejects many initial SSD claims in its first review. Along with the few bad claims it receives, it throws out many good claims as well.
Many SSD claims are approved on appeal, but to be successful, an appeal must be properly written, the language must conform to the government’s standards, and medical evidence must be carefully presented. If your claim has been rejected, we may be able to appeal the ruling and obtain the benefits you deserve and need.
You May Be Disabled and Not Know It
It may seem difficult to believe, but many people who could be classified as disabled under the rules of the program do not realize they are disabled. A skin condition, an emotional or psychological problem, chronic heart disease, obesity, immune system disorder, or other physical problems may qualify you for the program.
We May Be Able to Help You Qualify
Even if you have been denied benefits, call the attorneys at Derren S. Johnson & Associates for a free consultation. We can help you pursue an appeal to seek the benefits you need and deserve.
