Let a Bloomington SSDI Attorney Help You Get the Disability Benefits to Which You Are Entitled

Many people are aware the disability claims process can be long and complicated, but most people do not know you can shave weeks or even months from the process by doing two simple things – filing a disability claim as soon as possible and hiring expert representation to guide you through the process. If you have experienced a medical illness or condition, either physical or mental or a combination of both, that is expected to last at least 12 months, you may file a disability claim immediately.

The SSA Offices for Bloomington, Indiana are located:


Or call the Social Security Administration's national toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213.

Although the Social Security Administration estimates a wait of approximately 90-120 days for a decision on your disability claim, the truth is their office is bombarded with claims that need to be handled and if a claim goes through the appeal process it could be months or even up to three years to be settled. To facilitate the process and cut down on the time spent waiting on a decision, as soon as you become unable to work you should file a disability claim and start the paperwork rolling.

In the meantime, contacting a disability attorney experienced in the procedures and processes of the Social Security Administration and receiving a free consultation can point you in the right direction. There is little risk to you, since fees are not collected unless you win your claim, and then they are deducted from the back pay awarded and are limited by standards set by the SSA. For very little investment, you have the expertise available to help you get the disability benefits you need to provide for your family and relieve the financial strain of being unemployed.

Bloomington Disability Benefits

Bloomington families have been hard hit, like much of the country, but high unemployment and few options. According to the US Census Bureau, those with disabilities can suffer from an unemployment rate double that of the national average. Disability benefits can be the only thing that can help families who are coping with a serious illness or medical condition deal with the financial stress of a job loss.
Experienced disability attorneys know how the disability claims process works and can help guide you through the requirements, deadlines, and appeals. Statistics show those with representation have a much better outcome than those without because of the complexity of the process. Once you begin receiving social security disability benefits, you will continue to receive them until or unless you return to work, although you can work at a limited capacity as long as  you do not exceed the earning threshold established by the SSA.
