    About this ebook

    Do you have a severe physical disability or mental health disorder that keeps you from working full-time? Has it lasted, or is it expected to last, for at least one year? Were your benefits terminated? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits. But did you know the government denies the majority of claims, even when people deserve benefits? If you applied for SSD benefits at your local Social Security office and the Social Security Administration denied your claim, don't give up. We have been successful in securing favorable decisions for our clients and are proud to have attorneys who keep informed on all changes in Social Security law. We understand that many Social Security disability applicants are overwhelmed at the thought of the complicated application process of the federal disability programs. Let us help you go after what is yours. We wrote this book for you. This book should not be considered legal advice, but an overview of the world of Social Security Disability.
