Communicating to Clients the Complex SSD Qualifications
Disabilities range in their severity, covering both physical and psychological impairments. At Helzer Cromar & Schneider, we understand that clients come to us not only in physical pain, but also stressed and anxious over how they are going to make ends meet now and in the future.
The worst decision one can make is assuming that your disability will not qualify for SSI or SSD benefits. Taking proactive steps to get the facts and secure aggressive representation is the first step toward a stable future. Contact us at 503-608-7851 or toll free at 866-930-2812.
Neck and back problems can end careers. Depression and potentially fatal diseases put more than a job at risk. Options exist through the Social Security Administration in the form of Social Security Disability (SSD) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The process is lengthy and oftentimes discouraging. Initial denials are practically automatic, requiring the disabled to level the playing field with the help of an attorney.
Disabilities take various forms and include:
- Alzheimer's, traumatic brain injuries and mental illnesses, including depression, schizophrenia, mental retardation, anxiety, PTSD, personality disorders, and various anxiety, learning and bipolar disorders
- Respiratory illnesses that involve asthma (COPD), cystic fibrosis, sleep apnea and other breathing disorders
- Immune system disabilities that take the form of HIV, Lupus and various auto-immune diseases
- Disabling physical pain of arthritis, spinal stenosis, and herniated and degenerative disks
- Multiple sclerosis and other neurological diseases, such as epilepsy, brain tumors, and muscular dystrophy
- Potentially fatal illnesses, including cancer, diabetes and heart, blood vessel or kidney diseases
- Loss of hearing or sight
- Terminal illnesses
- Amputation
