Do you have an ongoing physical or mental injury that makes it impossible for you to retain employment? The Social Security System was designed to help those with debilitating conditions, who can not perform at a job for at least 12 months, with monetary assistance. The Law Offices of Jeffrey A. Rabin & Associates, Ltd. is a firm who has worked on cases involving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). They are compassionate to the pain that you may have suffered and will strive to get you approved for SSDI benefits.
In most cases, an initial application for SSDI benefits will be denied. A Social Security law firm in Libertyville can provide you with legal representation when your Social Security Disability application is rejected. They will not give up easily in a battle for your benefit rights. The Law Offices of Jeffrey A. Rabin & Associates can also help with Social Security benefits for children.
The first step in obtaining SSDI is collecting evidence of your disability. If the Social Security Administration (SSA) does not feel that you have enough evidence to support your claim, they will not provide you with benefits. Generally, physical problems like back injuries and paralysis are easier to prove. X-rays, MRI’s and other tests are very convincing to the SSA. Mental disabilities such as depression and mood disorders are much more difficult to prove because there is not a test that can definitively prove these kind of problems. The best evidence for a mental issue is testimony from doctors and psychiatrists.
Obtaining SSDI benefits can be very challenging, and many give up in their efforts. A Social Security law firm in Libertyville can help with many aspects of the SSDI process, such as an administrative meeting, which you have 60 days to schedule after your claim is denied. If you are denied in an administrative meeting, you have another 60 days to ask for a review by the Appeals Council. This will require a well written argument of your case, which is very difficult to produce without the help of a social security attorney. If the Appeals Council also denies the claim, then you can file for an appeal with the federal court.
The Law Offices of Jeffrey A. Rabin & Associates, Ltd. can help with many types of SSDI related problems and are dedicated to helping people receive their rightful benefits.
