A division of Whitcomb Selinsky, PC proudly focused on Social Security and Veterans Disability Benefits.
The process of applying for disability benefits can be extremely frustrating. The endless paperwork and process required to obtain help for a disabling condition can be confusing and overwhelming. Unfortunately, only a fraction of the two million individuals who apply for social security disability benefits or veteran disability benefits each year are awarded their claims.
For example, the Social Security Administration (SSA) turns down approximately two-thirds of primary applications. In addition, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) denied almost 40 percent of the disability claims submitted in 2020. Many claimants do not appeal their initial denial notification letter sent by either the SSA or VA.
If you cannot work due to a medical condition, either physical, mental, or both, you already have enough of a burden on your shoulders. Having a disability benefits lawyer on your side can ensure your disability claim is completed correctly, including obtaining necessary medical records and that all deadlines are met.
