Social Security Disability claims are denied for many reasons. Important facts in your medical records may have
been overlooked. Records may be missing. The difficulty of your job may not have been understood if it was decided that you could return to it. Cases also get decided for technical reasons, such as insufficient quarters of work or a disability date that is too early or too late.
The best disability attorneys must be familiar with the law and the many federal regulations that govern Social Security Disability and SSI cases and must be able to understand complex medical conditions.
Apply for Social Security Disability or SSI Benefits in Person, By Phone or Online.

You will qualify for disability benefits if you can prove that physical or psychiatric disabilities keep you from working according to Social Security's rules. You will be entitled to benefits if your condition is so bad that you meet or equal the level of severity that Social Security has listed for your condition. You will also win your disability case if you cannot do even the easiest job you had during the last 15 years and your age, education, past work experience, lack of skills, and poor physical condition keep you from doing any other job.
We have won benefits for adult clients with many different types of physical disabilities, including asthma, diabetes, herniated disks and other lumbar and cervical (back and neck) problems, arthritis, heart problems, fibromyalgia, sleep apnea, AIDS, cancer, hepatitis, cirrhosis and other liver conditions, brain injuries, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, lupus, vision problems and hearing loss.
From our 30 years of experience, we know that a successful psychiatric disability case requires particular care and attention. Because there are no objective tests to prove psychological impairment, it is necessary to show through history and testimony that work is impossible for someone suffering from anxiety, agoraphobia, panic attacks, depression, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorders.
We help families who apply for SSI children's benefits in Western Massachusetts present their cases as strongly as possible to the Social Security Administration. We know the law and how to explain your child's medical or psychological conditions, such as asthma, ADHD, learning problems or PTSD, to give you the best possible chance to qualify your child for SSI benefits.

For an adult to qualify for SSI (Supplemental Security Income) benefits, he or she must meet the same rules for physical or psychiatric impairment that are required to qualify for Social Security Disability.
SSI is available to adults who have not worked enough time before their disability started to have paid into the Social Security system. SSI applicants must meet certain maximum household asset and income limits.
Benefits for SSI cannot be paid before the date of the SSI application.
