Baton Rouge Social Security Disability Lawyer

If you are disabled, unable to work, and lack the financial resources to provide for yourself, you are entitled to benefits under the Social Security Disability (SSD) program. Qualifying for the program is not 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.

To qualify for the program, your claim has to pass the strict review of the Social Security Administration. In order to prevent fraud, they reject a large number of initial SSD claims in their first review. Along with the few bad claims they receive, they throw out many of the good claims as well.

A large number of claims are approved on appeal, but to be successful, an appeal must be properly written and the language must conform to the government’s strict standards. 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.
