What Types Of Benefits Are Attorneys Able To Obtain For Clients With Disabilities?

By representing clients in front of the Social Security Administration, attorneys and legal advocates can represent people to obtain the following benefits:

1. Monthly cash benefits option 1. This benefit includes cash to individuals following a 5-month waiting period that goes to the disabled worker or their family. Here, the worker and eligible family members may receive benefits during the impairment period and up to the point the worker hits the age of retirement. At that point, the worker’s benefits convert to retired-worker benefits, and continues until death. Eligible family members would become eligible to continue to receive such benefits. Notably, the spouse of a disabled worker may be eligible for benefits if they are 62 years old or above, is caring for a child under 16. Unmarried children also may received benefits up to 18 years of age, or until age 19 if they are full-time elementary or secondary school students.
    
2. Monthly cash benefits option 2. Here, a disabled widow)er) or surviving spouse who is 50 years old (and up to age of retirement) may receive monthly cash benefits following a 5-month waiting period.
    
3. Monthly cash benefits option 3. This applies to a disabled adult or child of a disabled worker, as well as retired or deceased workers. Children who fall into this category must be 18 years’ old or above, and must have been disabled prior to age 22. Here, disabled adult children do not have to abide by the standard 5-month waiting period.
    
4. Medicare benefits. After a worker has been disabled worker, disabled widow(er), or disabled adult child has waited 2 years, they may become eligible for Medicare benefits.
    
5. Vocational rehab services. Disabled beneficiaries may receive vocational rehabilitation services if they could return to the workforce.
    

How Does the Social Security Administration Determine Eligibility of Benefits?

The process starts once a worker files an application at the Social Security Office.

Then, an applicant must meet non-medical requirements, such as age, work credits, performance of SGA, and relationship to the insured worker. If met, the applicant goes to the Disability Determination Services (DDS) office in their state for a determination.

DDS officials pursue medical evidence from the applicant’s doctors and medical facilities where treatment was received. If more data is required for a decision, the applicant may need to undergo a consultative examination paid for the by Social Security Administration.

Finally, an evaluation is performed to determine if a person is disabled, which include the following 5 steps:

1. Is the applicant working? Typically, if the applicant is working and more than the amount allocated per the SGA, he or she cannot be determined eligible as a disabled worker. If an employee from the Social Security Administration makes the determination the worker is not disabled, the file is given to the DDS,
    
2. Is the applicant’s condition “severe”? The impairment or disability must cause interference with fundamental work-related activities for a claim to be considered. A non-favorable determination renders the person no disabled, and a favorable decision allows the DDS to pursue the next step.
    
3. Does the applicant have a disability that qualifies under SSA’s Listing of Impairments? There are 14 major impairments the SSA lists that are so severe they automatically equate to a qualified disability. These include the following: musculoskeletal, special senses and speech, respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, genitourinary, hemic and lymphatic, skin and subcutaneous tissue, endocrine, multiple body, neurological, mental, neoplastic, and immunologic. Conditions not on this list require DDS to decide if it meets the level of disability on the list. If not, the DDS pursues the next step.
    
4. Can the applicant engage work previously performed? When a person’s condition is not on the list or may not meet the degree of impairment on the list, the DDS must decide whether it prevents them from performing past work activities. If not, then the claim is denied. If it does, DDS pursues the next step.
    
5. Can the applicant engage in another type of work? Here, the DDS considers the person’s medical conditions, age, education, work experience, and any transferable skills. If DDS determines the applicant can engage in other work, the claim is denied. On the other hand, if DDS determines the applicant cannot not do other work, the claim is approved.

You bet they are exclusive!

Our business model is successful because we do not share leads.

This means you are not competing with other law firms the moment the prospective claimant submits their information.

We cannot guarantee the prospect has not submitted their data to another attorney, however. Often, a person will submit their data to a law firm’s website and not receive a response. Subsequently, they may submit other forms with the intent of getting a quicker response.

Hence, although these attorney leads are exclusive, we encourage attorneys respond to all leads within 5 minutes or less.

Absolutely.
