The successful pursuit of a Social Security Disability (SSD) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claim can be a challenging, drawn-out and, ultimately, heart-breaking affair.
The Social Security Administration turns down almost 65 percent of people who first apply for disability. Most who appeal are denied again. In addition, each year, over 1 million claimants give up on their claim, while continuing to suffer from serious and catastrophic physical and mental/emotional medical challenges.
Fortunately, success can often be achieved with a fight, and with a knowledgeable and persistent attorney at your side. Approximately a half million individuals who continue fighting for their rights eventually win the benefits they are entitled to.
