These programs are administered by the Social Security Administration and only those who qualify under the medical criteria of the programs may apply and obtain the benefits they need.

Many forms need to be filled out properly and completely and, if you make any errors or incomplete statements, you can easily be denied.

Our team can follow up on your paperwork and claim, ensuring that it is not lost, delayed, or ignored and keep it moving through the system.

Who is eligible for Social Security Disability?
You are eligible for these benefits if you have worked during your life and paid into the system. In general, you must have worked 5 out of the last 10 years. You become eligible when you become disabled physically or emotionally or a combination of both. You must have a disability that is severe enough that it will prevent you from working at a regular paying job for at least 12 months or that is a terminal illness. Medical data is required to substantiate your disability by clinical and laboratory findings. In some cases, a genuinely disabling condition may be hard to quantify in which case you will need the legal skills and abilities of our local Mohave County Social Security Disability lawyer to help you present a convincing case.
