Elizabethtown Supplemental Security Income Lawyer
If you applied for Social Security Disability/Supplemental Security Income (SSD/SSI) benefits and were denied, don't give up. Only about 25 percent of applications are approved at the initial stage. With the help of an experienced attorney, you may be approved during reconsideration.
I am attorney Neil Weiner and I have been helping people with SSD/SSI for 35 years. I understand that the SSD process is confusing and frustrating. If you need assistance with your claim, come to my law office. You will work directly with me throughout the process. For a free consultation, please call 502-442-7306 or contact me online. SSD/SSI cases are taken on a contingency fee basis. If I accept your case, there is no fee unless I recover benefits for you.*
What To Do After a Denied Claim
SSD/SSI benefits are granted if you lack the residual functional capacity to perform your past work or other substantial gainful activity. People over age 50 who are unable to do their past job may qualify for benefits even if they could do a different job, however.
If you receive a denial after your initial application, you must apply for reconsideration within 60 days. I can help strengthen your application by including the necessary medical reports and other information.
If you are turned down after reconsideration, you have 60 days to request a disability hearing before an administrative law judge. The judge will have no prior knowledge of your case, so your file must include all of the necessary information. I will work with you to prepare for the hearing and will be there to represent you as well.
People who receive a denial after the hearing may choose to appeal the decision in federal court.
Let's talk about your claim today. Please call 502-442-7306 to schedule an appointment with a Louisville Social Security Disability attorney.
*The attorney's fee is usually 25 percent of any past-due benefits that are awarded. The attorney's fee must be approved by the Social Security Administration.
