Lafayette SSD Lawyer, Helping You From Start to Finish
If you are unable to work because of a physical or mental disability, Social Security benefits may be available to help you cover your expenses. These benefits are a legal right, but they can take a good deal of time and effort to obtain. In many cases, having an experienced lawyer can increase your chances of success.
Our attorney have helped hundreds of people get Social Security Disability Insurance (SSD or SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits to assist them when they become disabled. Call us at 765-447-5588 to set up a free consultation about your case.
We Can Help You Get the Process Started: Initial Applications and Medical Records
Our attorney and staff can help you file your initial application for SSD or SSI. As long as you have your basic medical information — your medicine bottles will suffice — we can gather the required documentation for your application and get things started. This documentation includes specific medical records that we can request from your health care providers to support your disability claim — to prove to Social Security that you need benefits.
We Can Help if You Are Denied: Reconsiderations
If you received a denial letter from Social Security, bring it in. We will sit down with you, review your case and talk about filing a reconsideration, a second look by a local Social Security office. We'll help you gather all the right medical documentation and make sure the paperwork is done properly, since correct paperwork is crucial to success in getting benefits.
We Can Go Before a Judge With You: Appeals and Administrative Hearings
If your initial claim or reconsideration was denied, we can often still help you get benefits. If we determine that you have the basis for an appeal because of your disability, our lawyer will be assigned to your case and file the required appeals paperwork. Your lawyer will go with you to an administrative hearing in Indiana to present your case before an administrative law judge (ALJ), and, in some cases where that is not successful, go to Federal District Court to argue your case for benefits.
