Cleveland, Ohio, Social Security Disability Attorney
As a Social Security Disability claimant who has been denied benefits, you may feel frustrated, helpless, or out of options. When you have worked for years and have paid into the system, you do not expect to be denied benefits when you know that you are unable to work. You may find it hard to understand why you have been denied benefits even though your doctor supports your claim. At Janet McCamley Co., LPA, I offer highly experienced and strategic advocacy to protect the rights and interests of my clients in need of disability benefits. The assistance of an experienced attorney can be crucial in navigating the Social Security system and in obtaining the benefits you and your family need.
No claimant should ever be unrepresented in their Social Security claim. An experienced attorney can effectively collect and prepare evidence and ensure that your appeals are filed in a timely and effective manner. Contact Janet McCamley Co., LPA for a free consultation.
What are Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits?
SSDI benefits are available to a person who has worked and paid into FICA. By paying money throughout your working life, you are investing in our government's insurance plan that is supposed to cover you if you become disabled. The higher your earnings and the longer your work history, the higher your benefit will be if you become disabled and are successful in obtaining benefits.
Who is eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits?
You may qualify for SSDI if you have been working and paying into FICA for at least 5 out of the last 10 years before you become disabled (fewer quarters of coverage are required for younger workers), if you are a dependant of a deceased or disabled person, a disabled widow or widower between the ages of 50 and 60 whose deceased spouse was fully insured at the time of his or her death, or if you have been disabled since before the age of 22 and your parent is disabled or deceased. Also, you must show that you have a disabling impairment (or combination of impairments) that is expected to last at least 12 months or to result in death.
What disabilities are covered by SSDI?
Disabilities covered by SSDI include mental disabilities, such as bipolar disorder, psychosis, severe depression and other mood disorders. Many physical conditions may qualify for disability benefits, including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and organ damage or organ failure. These are just a few of the numerous physical and mental impairments that can be the basis for a successful disability claim. Social Security is primarily concerned with the effects of your physical and/or mental impairments on your ability to perform work-related functions.
I am experienced in handling all types of disability cases. I can also help you understand how your age, education and past work experience may be factors in determining your eligibility for SSDI benefits. Contact me to discuss the specifics of your disability claim.
