Social Security Disability Lawyer in Covington, Georgia

Get a Covington SSI/SSD Attorney to help with your Disability Benefits Application

It can take as little as a few seconds to turn your life upside down. If you have been working and now find yourself with a disability that will prevent you doing so for at least 12 months you will need to apply for SSI (supplemental security income) or SSDI (social security disability insurance), and you should get your application in as quickly as possible. If you are like 71% of those who apply your initial SSI SSDI application will be rejected. Talk to a disability lawyer who can help you get the disabled benefits you are entitled to.

The social security administration (SSA) offices for Covington are located at:


Or call the Social Security Administration’s national toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213.
There is no need to feel discouraged if you initial application for a social security disability benefit is turned down. The SSA doesn’t know you and they have extremely strict criteria set for approving disabled benefits. What is important is to move on and get an appeal application put in within 60 days. Your SSI or SSDI appeal application will again need to include both medical and vocational evidence that you have been, or will be, unable to work for a year. Statistics show that you have a much greater chance of winning your appeal if you use the services of a disability attorney.

The annoying truth is that a letter from your doctor saying you can’t work is just not going to be enough in most cases. The SSA has a five step process that they use and the younger you are (in terms of working age) the harder it can be to show that you cannot be working. If you have been in construction work for instance the SSA may ask you to show why you could not be working in an office position instead.

Sometimes it is the smaller and less obvious things that can make the difference between winning a social security disability benefits claim and being left to struggle on financially. Experienced disability attorneys understand this and can make that difference. Of course many people are concerned about the costs of hiring a disability lawyer but we operate on a no win – no fee basis. If the difference was between getting nothing at all, or paying a small part of what you do get when you win your disabled benefits claim which makes more sense?
