If you are disabled from performing substantial gainful activity, you may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits. To qualify for social security disability benefits, you must have a physical or mental health condition or combination of conditions severe enough to prevent you from working in any regular paying job for at least one year or result in death. To determine whether you are disabled, the Social Security Administration relies upon an extensive set of regulations which takes into account your age, education, training, work experience, transferrable skills and your disabling medical condition.
You should not be discouraged if you have filed a claim for benefits and been denied. Most claimants are denied benefits upon filing their initial applications. In fact, except in cases of severe disability or a claimant's more advanced age combined with medical disability, most claims will actually proceed to a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge before benefits are approved.
At Conway Law Firm, we understand this process and what it takes to win your claim. We analyze each case individually to determine what is needed to support a claim for disability. We will gather and submit your medical records and other evidence necessary to support your claim. We will contact your doctors to request opinions on your behalf. If necessary, we may recommend that you undergo independent evaluation to better evaluate your disability. We will prepare you for your hearing. We will represent you through each step of the process.
If you are disabled and unable to work, please do not hesitate to call us at (800)4VA-LAWS or contact us through this website. Please speak with Emily Taylor if myself or Jimmie Hess is not available or in court, as she assists us in these matters.
