Kalamazoo Social Security Disability Attorneys
Get the Social Security Disability (SSD) Benefits You Deserve
Are you unable to work due to a disability? Are your finances dwindling because of disabling health issues? One of the most common reasons Americans declare bankruptcy is the combination of both steep medical debt and the inability to work full-time, usually due to an injury that caused the medical debt. It is a vicious cycle that thousands of people endure each year. Matters are worsened further after an injured person tries to gain Social Security Disability benefits but is denied.
The most important thing to remember if you have found yourself in a similar situation is that there are always ways to explore your options, including clearing unsecured debt and seeking financial stability. Contact Willis Law and our Kalamazoo SSD attorneys if you have filed for Social Security Disability following a serious or permanent injury, only to be denied your benefits. The sooner you get our team to work on your case, the less likely there will be additional complications.
Applying for SSD Benefits & Securing Them
You can think of Social Security Disability benefits as something like “long-term workers’ compensation” as it is meant to help you make ends meet after an injury prevents you from working or seeking gainful employment. Also like workers’ compensation, the majority of SSD benefit applicants will be denied the first time they file.
Common reasons for SSD benefit denial includes:
- Not providing medical evidence of injury severity
- Missing a filing deadline
- Filing to the wrong office or using the wrong form
- Spelling errors on the form – every detail counts
Our Grand Rapids, Paw Paw, and Kalamazoo SSD attorneys primarily focus on helping people who have already been denied by the Social Security Administration (SSA). This organization is notorious for being nitpicky and uncooperative with the average applicant. With our legal knowledge and years of experience dealing with the SSA, we can review your qualifying conditions and submit an appeal with a high chance of success, putting you one step closer towards living in comfort again. If you are over 50 years old, there is an even better chance that we will be able to appeal.
SSD Claim Help at No Risk to You
Our Kalamazoo Social Security Disability attorneys make pursuing an appeal easy and stress-free. If we choose to take your SSD claim, there will be no out-of-pocket cost to you, other than paying for copies of your medical records, until you are approved for benefits. This “no risk” approach to appeals gives our clients the confidence to move forward with legal actions.
