Charleston Social Security Disability Attorneys
Social Security Disability Law includes claims on behalf of individuals whose injuries or illnesses have affected their ability to earn a living. Individuals needing these services have unfortunately sustained injuries or developed illnesses which prevent them from returning to the work force. Workers who pay into the Social Security System assume that it will be there for them when they need it. All too often they find that the Government refuses to pay their benefits in their time of need. We are here to help you receive your benefits.
An individual qualifies for Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) when they have worked for a sufficient length of time and have developed a medical condition, injury, or illness that prevents them from working for at least one year. Medical conditions can include anything that prevents someone from working. Common medical conditions that can lead to disability can range from chronic pain problems (such as from a back injury) to respiratory disorders (like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) to digestive disorders (like inflammatory bowel disease) to mental disorders (such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorders) and includes everything in between. Individuals with a disability who cannot work or have been away from the workplace for a long time, may also be entitled to benefits under the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, which acts as a safety net for impoverished individuals who are unable to work.
Our job in representing these disabled individuals includes helping each individual secure all the benefits they are entitled to under the law. Our fees are contingent on your qualifying for benefits and are paid directly by Social Security based on a back pay award calculation. We generally become involved in a Social Security claim once a person has been turned down on their initial application but we are happy to answer any questions regardless of where you are at in the process.
