The first and most important step. Partner law firms help gather your medical records and work history to build the strongest possible initial claim, avoiding common errors that lead to denial.
If your initial claim is denied, you have the right to appeal. Our partner law firms can manage the reconsideration process, submitting new evidence to strengthen your case.
This is a critical stage where your chances of approval can significantly increase. A partner attorney will prepare you for the hearing, gather expert testimony, and argue your case before the judge.
If a hearing is unsuccessful, there are further levels of appeal. Our partners can evaluate your case for legal errors and represent you before the Appeals Council or in federal court.
For those who have worked and paid into Social Security, partner law firms help prove that your condition prevents you from working and that you meet the insured status requirements.
For those with limited income and resources, partner attorneys help navigate the strict financial and medical eligibility rules to secure these essential benefits.
This is the most common category of approved disabilities. It includes conditions like degenerative disc disease, arthritis, spinal stenosis, and injuries that make it impossible to sit, stand, or lift as required for work. An advocate can use your MRIs, X-rays, and doctor’s notes to prove the severity of your limitations.
Nearly 20% of disability approvals are for mental illnesses like severe depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and schizophrenia. Proving a mental disability requires extensive documentation from therapists and psychiatrists, which our partners can help organize to show how your condition prevents you from maintaining employment.
Heart failure, coronary artery disease, and other serious heart conditions can severely limit your physical abilities. A representative can help demonstrate that your condition meets the Social Security Administration's strict criteria, often using stress tests and hospitalization records as evidence.
Conditions like Multiple Sclerosis (MS), epilepsy, stroke, or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can have devastating effects on your ability to function. A disability advocate can help gather the complex medical evidence needed to prove the extent of your cognitive or physical impairment.
Many types of cancer, especially at advanced stages or during aggressive treatment, can qualify for disability benefits. Our partners can help expedite claims in many cases by ensuring the diagnosis and treatment records clearly meet the SSA’s guidelines for a disabling impairment.
Lupus, HIV, Chronic Kidney Disease, COPD, and Diabetes with complications can all be the basis for a successful disability claim. We connect you with advocates who know how to document the widespread effects of these systemic diseases on your ability to work.
