Social Security Disability Lawyer in Prescott, Arizona

Let a Prescott Disability Attorney Help you File for Disability Benefits

Many Americans are aware that the Social Security Administration offers benefits for those those who have reached retirement age. But it is not quite as widely known that the SSA provides disability benefits for any worker who has been forced to leave a full-time job because of an injury or serious illness. Every year, thousands of Americans and their families use these benefits as a means of replacing lost income and easing the expense of medical costs and other household bills.
But for the average person, the process of applying for and receiving SSD (social security disability) or SSI (supplemental security income) benefits can be overwhelming. That is why a large number of people consider hiring social security disability attorneys. A trained SSD/SSI lawyer can use their expertise of disability benefits law to help you build the best possible case. They can explain all of your options and will help you from the initial application through any necessary appeals. And because many of them work on a contingency basis, you will not have to pay anything unless you win your case.

Named for historian William H. Prescott, the city of Prescott once served as the capital of the Arizona Territory. It lost that designation in 1867, when the capital was moved to Tucson (today, Phoenix is Arizona's capital city). Many of the city's early downtown buildings were made of wood, but after several major fires in the early part of the 20th century, they were rebuilt with brick. Today the downtown courthouse plaza is a central gathering spot and site for numerous cultural events. As the seat of Yavapai County, Prescott and the surrounding areas have more than 34,000 people suffering from disabilities . It is possible that many of them could qualify to receive disability benefits.
To begin the process, you must first have been out of work for twelve months or longer. You then must submit an SSD or SSI application. This can be done in one of several ways – either in person at a local Social Security Administration branch office, by phone via the national toll-free hotline or online at the SSA website. Your application is then sent to a state level office where you must prove to the government's satisfaction that you are indeed disabled.
It is difficult to estimate how long it will take for you to begin receiving your disability benefits. For some people, the process takes a few months. For others, it can take several years. Much of it depends on if you must appeal, the number of appeals you will have to file and the level to which you must appeal. If your appeal calls for a hearing before a social security disability judge, be aware that they are often backlogged with cases and it could take time before your case is heard.
