Are You Eligible for Social Security Benefits?
People of any age can be eligible for Social Security. Young people with children, middle-aged people and people who are approaching regular Social Security age can all get benefits if they suffer from a disability.
Unfortunately, getting these benefits is not easy. In fact, it is one of the most complex areas of the law. The attorneys of Ross & Schnarrs in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, have the experience required to navigate through the system and help you get the benefits you are entitled to.
How to Get Social Security Benefits
Getting Social Security Disability Insurance benefits (SSDI benefits) seems simple at first. A person applies with the Social Security System at a local office, providing some medical documentation. Then that person waits for a response.
Usually, that response is a denial, no matter how legitimate a claim is. That is where our attorneys come in. SSD appeals are a necessary step in order to obtain benefits.
If you have been denied Social Security benefits, you must get in touch with our experienced lawyers quickly, because there are time limits and deadlines that must be met.

What Constitutes a Disability?
A disability is anything that prevents a person from engaging in a substantial gainful activity. In other words, if you are unable to work and earn an income because of an injury or illness, it is considered a disability. The disability must last for a year or more and prevent a person from doing any work, including their previous job or any other job.

You Do Not Pay Attorney Fees
The Social Security System will actually pay the attorney to represent you out of benefits you have accrued as of the award letter. This amount is capped at 25% of the amount of accrued benefits received at the time of the award up to $5,250.00.
