Social Security Disability Lawyer in Phoenix, Arizona

Let a Phoenix Disability Attorney Help you File for Disability Benefits

After many Americans saw much of their wealth wiped out after the Great Depression and World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt enacted a government program in 1945 designed to create forced savings protections. That program has grown into what we know today as Social Security. The Social Security Administration every year provides benefits for workers who have reached retirement age. However it also gives disability benefits to anyone who can no longer work because of an injury or serious illness. If you are suffering from a disability, these benefits could be a necessary means to help you and your family make ends meet.

However it is not easy to complete the process to receive your SSD (social security disability) or SSI (supplemental security income) benefits on your own. To help lessen the confusion over the procedure, many people are turning to social security disability attorneys. Their knowledge of SSD and SSI benefits law can help you sidestep many of the pitfalls that the average person would encounter trying to apply for benefits on their own. In addition, because a high number of first-time claims are rejected, an experienced disability benefits advocate can increase your chances of winning or help with any necessary appeals.

Known as “The Valley of the Sun”, Phoenix is the capital and largest city in Arizona. It is also the fifth-largest city in the United States. Sitting in the Sonoran Desert, Phoenix has the hottest climate of any major U.S. city, with temperatures routinely topping 100 degrees during the summer and occasionally exceeding 120. Yet as the seat of Maricopa County, Phoenix and its surrounding cities also have more than half a million people living with disabilities . You or a loved one may be among that number. If so, you could be eligible for disability benefits.

After you have filed your SSD/SSI application, it is sent to a Disability Determination Office at the state level where it is first evaluated. If your claim is granted, it goes next to a payment center and you will begin receiving your monthly disability checks. However if the claim is denied, you have the option to file an appeal through the Reconsideration process. Your first appeal is returned to the state level. Any further appeals are heard by social security judges at higher levels. While extremely rare, there is a chance that your case could even reach the Supreme Court of the United States.

There should not be a concern about being able to afford an SSD/SSI benefits advocate. Like most personal injury lawyers, many disability attorneys work on a contingency basis. This means that you will not have to pay a dime unless your case is won. Moreover, the Social Security Administration has regulations in place that limit the amount of fees that you can be charged. In most instances, it is $6,000 or less.
