Social Security Disability Lawyers In Clinton

For people who are unable to work due to a serious injury or medical condition, social security disability insurance claims can help ease the financial strain. However, applying for social security disability insurance can be complicated without the assistance of an experienced Social Security Disability Lawyers In Clinton.

Why Find A Social Security Disability Attorney?

Many people find the Social Security Administration difficult to deal with, and the disability claims process onerous and confusing. While part of the online application process is fairly straightforward, an important part of completing that first step is assembling all the documentation and medical records you need to substantiate your claim.

Wherever you are in the application process, an attorney from Cochran, Kroll & Associates, P.C. will be happy to meet with you to learn more about your situation, review the benefit programs available, and make recommendations. After this free consultation, if we decide to work together, all attorney fees are regulated by law and don’t have to be paid until your claim is approved.

Why Do So Many Claims Get Denied?

If you are under full retirement age, have enough Social Security credits, and have a severe physical or mental medical condition that means you are unable to work for one year or more — or have a terminal condition — you should be able to get social security disability benefits.

There are four primary reasons for an application being denied.

• Failure to Comply. This is the most common reason, and usually involves missing paperwork, records, or other documentation that has been requested.
• Criminal Record. Your criminal record is usually immaterial in SSDI applications, but if your injury/disability happened during the commission of a felony, developed while you were in jail, or is associated with a parole or probation violation, then your benefits may be denied.
• Drug or Alcohol Addiction. If the applicant has a drug or alcohol addiction, and this addiction is a factor in the claimed disability, the applicant is ineligible to receive benefits.
• Fraud. If you lie on the application, your claim will not only be denied, but you might be prosecuted for fraud as well.
