How Can I Qualify for Social Security Disability?

If you meet the regulations established by the SSA for disability benefits, a Las Vegas disability lawyer will be able to prove that you are legally disabled and unable to work for at least 12 months due to illness, disease, injury or a physical or mental disability. They will then file a Social Security Disability/SSI disability claim on your behalf after gathering the information needed to make a case for your claim.

The steps to make a disability claim include:

• Gathering your medical records and corresponding evidence to be able to back up the assertion that you are unable to work. This will also require contacting your physicians/hospitals/medical services to acquire medical records and medical reports about you.
• Requesting your Social Security documents, such as proof of birth, citizenship or lawful alien status, US military discharge papers if you served before 1968, tax forms, an Adult Disability Report, award letters, pay stubs, settlement agreements or proof of workers' compensation-type benefits you may have received.
• Providing you with legal advice and preparing you for your Social Security Disability hearing for when you and your legal counsel make your case.
