Each year thousands of Mississippi residents will be told by their doctor that they are disabled and can no longer work. Their job is too stressful or physically demanding and could damage their health even more. Their doctor’s diagnosis is important but is usually not enough to convince the SSA that they should begin receiving disability benefits. A worker must file an application for SSI or SSDI benefits, and prove their need to the Social Security Administration.
 
In some cases the disability is obvious and a claim is approved right away. In most cases, however, the person must provide a thorough statement from their physician and provide supporting medical test results. This can be a complicated task, and many who attempt to file are denied benefits. Disability attorneys can be a great help at this time. They understand the SSA filing process and can help ensure that the claim is complete and has all supporting documentation.
