Do you know your rights? The Social Security Administration (SSA) denies disability benefits to many applicants who meet Social Security's definition of disability. For example, in evaluating medical evidence, the SSA often improperly gives greater weight to their examining doctor’s opinions than those of the claimant's treating physician. Second, by denying the great majority of initial applications, the SSA guarantees that many deserving claimants won't bother to file an appeal. Third, some applicants fail to report all of their injuries, illnesses, or medical conditions. As a result, Social Security’s denial is often based on an incomplete picture of the applicant's true medical condition.

How can Segar & Sciortino help? Because our Social Security Disability lawyers have worked on so many cases, we are familiar with the laws, regulations, programs, and procedures governing a Social Security Disability claim. Our law firm will:

• Help complete the required forms so that SSA’s determination is based on an accurate picture of your past employment history and your present medical condition.
• Guide you through the various stages, including correspondence with the Division of Disability Determinations and the examinations conducted by the physicians hired by Social Security.
• Assist Social Security in gathering important information about your case, in particular your medical records.
• Obtain statements from your doctors regarding your inability to work. Our attorneys can even help your doctor understand Social Security guidelines.
• If necessary, attend a hearing and present evidence before an Administrative Law Judge.

Social Security Disability is a program designed to protect disabled workers. If you cannot work on a regular, consistent, full-time basis and if you have accumulated enough work credits, you have earned disability benefits.

What if your claim is denied? If your initial application is denied, our Social Security Disability lawyers can help you with your appeal, represent you at the hearing and at any additional hearings including federal court. At Segar & Sciortino, we work hard to make sure that the Social Security Judge has every important piece of evidence relating to your case.

What is Supplemental Security Income (SSI)?

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) does not require an applicant to have ever worked. An SSI applicant must prove disability and must also prove eligibility under very severe financial limitations. While SSD is an earned benefit for workers, SSI is a needs-based program that supplements poverty relief benefits. Our attorneys can help with your SSI claim.

Why should you contact Segar & Sciortino? Social Security Disability benefits can make the difference between financial stability and tremendous financial hardship. Our Social Security Disability lawyers recognize the importance of Social Security Disability benefits to your financial well being.
