Recovering The Benefits That Are Rightly Yours

It is stressful not to be able to work because of debilitating injuries, chronic illness or other medical conditions. That stress is compounded when you are unable to pay bills and help provide for your family. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is intended to resolve this problem, but these benefits can be difficult to recover.

At The Law Offices of Cory A. DeLellis, my team and I are committed to helping disabled workers recover the benefits they deserve. We help clients at every stage of the process. Some reach out to us when they first file their claim, while others enlist our assistance after an initial claim has been denied. Our aim is always to streamline the process so our clients recover their badly needed benefits as quickly as possible.

How Disability Benefits Work

Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits are intended for injured individuals who are unable to work for a year or more due to a disability. To qualify for SSD benefits, you must have worked long enough and recently enough in a job that is covered by Social Security. (In other words, you paid into Social Security through withdrawals from your paychecks.)

Not only must your condition prevent you from performing the work you did prior to your injury or illness, but you must also be unable to perform other work. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has developed a list of qualifying medical conditions. Your condition must be on the list or as severe as a medical condition on the list for you to qualify to receive benefits.

Some Applications Are Denied

That sounds straightforward enough. However, many initial applications for SSD benefits are denied. In fact, nearly 70% of initial claims are denied by the SSA. This occurs for a number of reasons. You may not have provided sufficient medical records to prove your disability. You may not be following your doctor’s orders for treating your injury or illness. Or you may simply have not completed the paperwork properly.

The proper step to take after an initial claim is denied is to appeal. The appeal process also has multiple steps and can become overwhelming. It is at this point that many injured people seek help from a knowledgeable SSDI attorney.

As your attorney, I can assure you that your case will be handled with dignity, diligence and dedication. I know the difficulty of having a disability that prevents you from earning an income while life’s expenses continue to roll in.

Making A Difference, For You And Your Future

I want to help you get the full benefits to which you are entitled − and in a timely manner. I know which medical records SSA employees are seeking. If a hearing before an administrative law judge is necessary as part of your appeal, I can help you prepare for that and question any expert witnesses the government asks to testify.

There is no upfront fee for my services. I only get paid if I help you obtain benefits. I began my career as a lawyer by helping my father in his law office, working on cases just like yours.

I am passionate and persistent. My office is conveniently located in San Diego, which allows me to serve clients throughout Southern California. My goal is to find all the strengths in your case. Regardless of where you are in the application process. Let’s discuss how I can help you get the benefits you have earned as soon as possible.
