When you are unable to work due to a disability, chances are good that your primary concern is finding a way to cover monthly bills and medical expenses. At The Hatley Law Firm, we have been successfully representing clients with Social Security Disability (SSD) claims for more than 15 years. Our lawyers work hard to provide a caring and compassionate environment where we discuss all of the details and provide a thorough evaluation of your situation.
Qualifying for SSD
The first step in any disability claim is evaluating your potential for eligibility. Our founding attorney, Angela Hatley, is a registered nurse who spent six years working in the medical profession before pursuing a legal career. Our firm draws on Ms. Hatley's medical training and experience as we examine medical records and prepare legal arguments based on the specifics of your medical condition.
The second step is to examine your work history and determine whether you are eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). SSI is a program that is a federal income supplement program designed to help individuals with little or no income or work history. SSDI is available to individuals who have paid Social Security taxes during their working life, and to their family members and who meet the definition of disability under federal law.
VA Disability Compensation
Many veterans are eligible for additional disability benefits through civilian programs such as SSI and SSDI. Accepting assistance from a civilian program will not affect the benefits already received through the VA Disability Compensation program. If you are a disabled veteran receiving benefits through the VA Disability Compensation program, we encourage you to contact us to discuss your eligibility for Social Security Disability.
Experience You Can Trust
If you have been turned down for SSI or have a denied SSDI claim, we encourage you to contact us to discuss your case. Our lawyers have many years of experience successfully achieving approval for benefits after appealing a decision on a case.
