The Experience and Compassion You Need
Living with a debilitating physical or mental disorder or illness, or suffering a disabling injury is stressful enough. Worrying about how to pay the bills because you cannot work or get necessary medical treatment creates additional stress that you do not need. If your disabling impairment prevents you from working at a substantial gainful activity level, you may be eligible to collect Social Security Disability Insurance/Supplemental Security Income (SSDI/SSI) benefits.
If you have already applied for SSDI/SSI benefits and been denied, you know that the Social Security Disability process can be confusing. At Rubin Guttman & Associates, L.P.A., we can help you with the initial application and appeals processes. Our experience in personal injury and SSDI/SSI means that we understand your medical or mental health issues and can help you prove that you are disabled. Our Cleveland Social Security Disability attorneys offer free initial consultations. If we accept your case, you pay no fee unless we win benefits for you.
Was your application denied? Don't give up. Eighty percent of applications are initially denied. We win the overwhelming majority of cases we take on.
Assistance From Initial Application to Hearings and Appeals
When a disease, illness, injury or impairment is so disabling that a person lacks the residual functional capacity to work, SSDI/SSI benefits can provide much needed income and medical benefits. If you have worked at least 20 calendar quarters in the preceding 10 years, you may qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance. If you lack the work credits for SSDI, you may apply for Supplemental Security Income. We can help you determine which program is appropriate for you.
If you meet or equal one of the Social Security Administration's (SSA) 14 categories of physical and mental impairments ("the Listings"), or if by virtue of your age, education, impairments and work history, you satisfy the Social Security Disability "Grids," you qualify for benefits. Our lawyers have the knowledge to help you with claims relating to any of the impairment categories, including the musculoskeletal system injuries and disorders (Listing 1.00), neurological system disorders (Listing 11.00), respiratory system disorders (Listing 3.00), cancer (Listing 13.00) and psychological impairments (Listing 12.00). We have the experience to help you provide the medical evidence necessary to prove the limitations of your condition.
