Social Security Disability
Scott, Kinney, Fjelstad & Mack, Attorneys at LawRepresenting Injured and Disabled Workers and IndividualsSocial Security is not just a retirement benefit. If you are unable to work due to an injury or illness expected to last for more than one year, you may be entitled to social security disability benefits. Unfortunately, the Social Security Administration denies many worthy claims when first filed, then denies them again upon reconsideration. After your claim goes through the initial determination and reconsideration phases, you must appeal any denial to the Office of Hearings and Appeals, where an administrative law judge will hear your case. At this stage, many claimants turn to experienced attorneys like those of Scott, Kinney, Fjelstad & Mack, Attorneys at Law. Entitlement to social security disability benefits is established in two ways, either under the “listings” or under the “medical-vocational guidelines.” If the medical evidence in your case is lacking, you won’t win no matter how disabled you are in fact. An experience attorney can evaluate your case, identify any holes in it, and then obtain the evidence needed to win. The presentation of the evidence to the administrative law judge is always crucial. Contact Scott, Kinney, Fjelstad & Mack, Attorneys at Law to protect your rights. Our fees are contingent, limited to a portion of the past due benefits. You only pay us if we win your case. We handle cases for clients in all parts of our state. |
