Philadelphia Social Security Law Firm
Citizens prevented or partially limited from employment by disease or condition may be eligible for government assistance from the Social Security Administration. These benefits supplement or replace employment income on a monthly basis. In general, to qualify for benefits the limiting condition must persist (or be projected to persist) for at least twelve months. The severity of the condition is not necessarily at issue but, rather, at issue is the condition’s effect on ability to find and maintain employment. The application process is straightforward and denials are common. In most cases appeals are necessary to secure benefit approval. Appeals are best attempted with attorney representation. In most cases attorney fees are taken from benefit awards.
