Central Valley SSDI Attorney
In today's economy, more people than ever are finding themselves unable to get a job because of a disability. Whether you have suffered a debilitating injury in a recent accident or you have developed your condition over many years, if you should be filing for Social Security disability benefits, you want an experienced lawyer on your side.
I am Modesto Social Security disability attorney Gary C. Nelson, and I have been helping disabled people get the Social Security benefits they deserve for over 25 years. Listening to your concerns and taking an in-depth look at your case, I will advise you accordingly and help you get the right SSI or SSDI benefits.
If Your Case Has Been Denied, You Still Have Options
If you filed for Social Security benefits on your own, but your case was denied, do not panic. You still have rights. In fact, most people who now receive benefits had their initial requests denied. However, you have a short time to file an appeal, so act quickly. The sooner you contact my firm, the sooner I can help you start the appeals process.
There are different types of Social Security benefits out there, and it is very important that you apply for the kind that best fits your needs:
- SSDI: When you work, you put money into the Social Security system, so that your rights will be protected if anything ever happens to you. If you are no longer able to work because of a disability, I can help you secure Social Security Disability Insurance.
- SSI: Supplemental Security Income is available to people who do not have the required work history to qualify for SSDI, but are not able to get a job and support themselves now because of a disability.
There is a lot of evidence required to win any Social Security case. I will help you understand how the process works, and I will work with you to gather all necessary evidence and make sure it is in the court file. I will also make sure your doctor fills out all court forms in a way that will demonstrate to the judge the full impact of your disability. With those forms in hand, your evidence carries even more power in court.
