A sudden accident can cause a once hard-working Ohio man or woman to suddenly become disabled. Being diagnosed with a disability can be heartbreaking and scary, especially if the victims are still relatively young. How will they provide for themselves and their families without regular income? Fortunately, Social Security Disability Insurance is available, but the process is daunting and the approval rate low, causing many victims to give up rather than fight for their rights. With a knowledgeable lawyer on your side, though, you can secure your right to SSDI benefits - benefits you have worked for your entire life.
Applying for SSDI may seem easy, but it's not. Just ask the nearly 80 percent of applicants who are denied social security the first time they apply. Some may try again, with no success, or simply quit. They then lose out on important benefits and, in the process, may become bankrupt or lose their assets. These victims are often unaware that they have an important resource - and ally - available to them.
The main issue is that the applicant and his or her doctor cannot specifically prove that a disability exists. It may be obvious to them, but not to the Social Security Administration. This is where a legal professional can help. Attorneys at Hochman & Plunkett can help you obtain medical proof regarding your disability. This evidence is then presented in a way that meets the SSA's strict requirements and gives the victim a strong chance of success.
If you have been denied for SSDI benefits, don't give up. Our firm's more than 150 years of combined experience in such matters allow us to understand the complicated process and can help you build a strong case so you and your family receive these much-needed benefits.
