Let a Asheboro Disability Attorney Help you File for Disability Benefits

If you are able to qualify, you are owed social security disability benefits. For many disabled people, the costs of their medical bills combined with their regular expenses can become a problem. If you are determined to have been disabled to the point that you can no longer work full-time, you could be eligible to receive payments from the Social Security Administration to help cover your expenses. The process to begin your claim can be done mostly on your own. However, to help bolster your claim or in the even that you need to file an appeal, it may be wise to consult a social security disability benefits attorney.

An SSD/SSI lawyer is trained in disability benefits law and can assist you with making all of the appropriate deadlines to keep your benefits claim on track. If you are considering filing an SSD benefits claim, it is a good idea to speak with your doctor. He or she can give you their opinion on whether you would qualify as disabled. A doctor is also able to write a letter on you behalf that can help bolster your disability benefits application. Additionally, your disability advocate knows which questions to ask of your doctor in order to best help a judge decide your claim.

Founded on Christmas Day of 1796, Asheboro was named for Samuel Ashe who was North Carolina's governor from 1795 to 1798. Today the city is home to the North Carolina Aviation Museum which includes an aircraft flown by Orville Wright in 1943. Just to the south of Asheboro is the Uwharrie National Forest which is a center for both tourism and economic development. However Asheboro and Randolph County are also home to more than 26,000 people with disabilities . If you or a loved one is among that group, you could be eligible for disability benefits.

There is no clear standard on how disabled you have to be to claim SSD/SSI benefits. Some of it is determined by what your injury is and how it would affect your performance in your previous occupation. Age is also a determining factor when considering a disability benefits claim. For workers who are closer to retirement age, it is more likely that their disability claim will be granted. However, it is not impossible for younger workers to receive their SSD/SSI benefits. Talk to your disability benefits attorney about your situation and they can help your prepare your claim.

Be aware that use of or addiction to drugs or alcohol can possibly complicate a social security disability benefits claim. In the 1990s, the laws were changed significantly regarding alcoholism or drug abuse. Your long term disability benefits lawyer can help you with the details of the regulations. However if you can prove that you would still be unable to work even without the use of alcohol or narcotics, you likely can still win a disability claim.
