Social Security Law
Our attorneys have experience obtaining Social Security benefits on behalf of disabled persons. Our firm is also able to guide you through the overwhelming maze of regulations and red tape that characterize the application process. If you and your doctor feel that your medical condition prevents you from working, we strongly encourage you to contact your local Social Security Office and apply for disability benefits. You can find the telephone number and the location of the social security office nearest to you in your local telephone directory.
When you apply for disability it is a good idea to have the following information with you:
- Your Social Security card
- Your original birth certificate or original baptismal certificate
- Your driver's license, or a passport for identification purposes
- The names, addresses and telephone numbers of all your doctors, and other health care providers, like physical therapists, chiropractors, or home nursing aides
- Your dates of admission for any hospitalizations or surgeries
It is important to provide Social Security with as much information as possible about your medical condition and the treatment that you have received. Social Security will request records and information from all your doctors. Contact your doctors to let them know you have applied for Social Security, and encourage them to provide the necessary information when they are asked by Social Security.
If you have suffered an injury that has resulted in a disability, you may be able to collect compensation from Social Security. The attorneys at Allan W. Ben P.C. are experts on what the Social Security Administration requires for claiming Social Security Disability benefits and for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Disability claims. Part of our job is to spare you from the hassle of waiting in long government lines and spare you from the chance that your claim might be jeopardized by government red tape. Our attorneys will take care of all aspects of your case, including the complicated paperwork.
