Edwardsville Illinois Social Security Disability Lawyer
Most initial Social Security Disability (SSD or SSDI) claims are denied - even when the benefits are clearly deserved. However, on appeal they are often approved.
William J. Meacham Handles Claims from Initial Application through Appeal Commonly thought of as a "retirement" program, Social Security is also an insurance system established by the government to provide for individuals and their families after a disability or an injury renders them unable to work. Obtaining these benefits is not easy, because the rules of the system are very complicated and the government wants to screen out false claims. As a result, they throw out a large number of valid initial claims along with the fraudulent claims.
To obtain the benefits you deserve, or to get your benefits reinstated following suspension of benefits, you will need the help of an experienced Social Security Disability attorney.
The amount of time you have worked and the nature of your disability will be the greatest factors in determining eligibility and the amount of your benefits.
William J. Meacham can help you by:
- Helping you file your initial claim, reconsideration, or appeal
- Offering documentation of disability from medical records and vocational experts
- Defining your disability in accordance with the federal guidelines for the disability
- Providing all appropriate documentation to support your claim
- Representing you at the administrative law judge hearing and before the Appeals Council
- Communicating with the Social Security Administration (SSA) on your behalf throughout the entire process
