Social Security Disability
Americans with a condition, disease or other disability which prevents them from obtaining employment can apply for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits. SSD provides beneficiaries who are completely disabled with a monthly cash income. For most cases, the disability must prevent the beneficiary from working for at least 12 months or eventually result in death. Several levels of appeal may have to be pursued before the application of benefits is complete. Even if you are denied during any course of the appeal, you are not automatically disqualified from receiving benefits.
What are my attorney fees?
Fees are based on a percentage of the amount recovered after the conclusion of the case and is capped by a maximum fee amount established by the Social Security Administration. All attorney fee requests must also be approved by the Social Security Administration.
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury, illness or death that prevents you from working, call VanDerGinst Law at 1-866-843-7367 or click here for a FREE online case evaluation.

| Sun, 30 Nov 2003 00:00:00 -0500 The Index of Missing Economic Indicators; The Unemployment Myth The government's announcement on Tuesday that the economy grew even faster than expected makes the current ''jobless recovery'' even more puzzling. To give some perspective, unemployment normally falls significantly in such economic boom times. The last time growth was this good, in 1983, unemployment fell 2.5 percentage points and another full percentage point the next year. That's what happens in a typical recovery. So why not this time? Because we have more to recover from than we've been to... Click here to read this Social Security Disability news article. |
