New Port Richey SSDI Lawyer

FL Injury Lawyers (Home) / New Port Richey Personal Injury Lawyer / New Port Richey SSDI Lawyer

Disabilities of any kind can significantly affect a family’s financial status. This is especially true when the primary income provider is disabled and either cannot work in the same job any longer – or at all. If you have become disabled, contact a New Port Richey SSDI lawyer to begin analyzing your situation and reviewing your medical records. A distinguished personal injury lawyer can help you to file for and collect the Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits you deserve.

Defining SSDI Benefits

SSDI provides monthly benefits to those who have become disabled and can no longer work. SSDI benefits are based on the taxes paid into Social Security during someone’s lifetime – the average payment currently being approximately $1,200 per month.

There are many types of disabilities which can qualify Floridians to receive SSDI benefits. The Social Security Administration (SSA) publishes an impairment manual, often referred to simply as the “Blue Book,” which provides a detailed list of impairments that may qualify for SSDI benefits. These may include, but are not limited to:

  • Immune system disorders including HIV/AIDS, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis
  • Kidney disease and genitourinary problems
  • Mental disorders including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, autism, and retardation
  • Respiratory illnesses including COPD or asthma
  • Vision and hearing loss
  • Musculoskeletal problems
  • Cancer
  • Cardiovascular conditions including heart failure or coronary artery disease
  • Skin disorders
  • Digestive tract problems including liver disease and IBD
  • Blood disorders including hemolytic anemias and disorders of bone marrow failure
  • Neurological disorders including multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease, and epilepsy

The SSA’s list is extremely detailed and conditions do not have to match descriptions exactly. Anyone who is unsure of whether a specific condition may qualify for SSDI benefits should contact a New Port Richey SSDI lawyer.

Applying for SSDI

The SSDI process involves obtaining medical records and opinions which show that an applicant is disabled and qualifies for benefits. However, that process can be complex and many initial SSDI claims are denied due to a lack of information provided.

A New Port Richey SSDI Lawyer understands how the process works and can help applicants increase their chances of prevailing on their initial request or on appeal by:

  • Determining if medical reports are consistent with SSA regulations to increase chances of prevailing on the initial request
  • Obtaining a vocational expert’s evaluation of an applicant’s ability to work
  • Providing guidance during the hearing
  • Referring applicants to specialists when records are inconsistent with SSA regulations
  • Requesting subpoenas to insure the presence of crucial witnesses or documents
  • Requesting the reopening of a prior application

An experienced New Port Richey SSDI attorney can also seek to waive applicable time limits if necessary.

Speaking to a Lawyer

If you have been disabled and qualify for SSDI benefits, contact an attorney to review your medical records, analyze your situation, and determine what cause of action makes the most sense for you. If you have already been denied, a New Port Richey SSDI lawyer can help you through the appeal process.

Filing SSDI claims can be very complex. Applications and appeals often have very strict deadlines and results can often vary depending on the judge assigned to your case. Increase your chances of receiving the SSDI benefits you deserve the first time by seeking the representation of an experienced New Port Richey SSDI lawyer.
