Depending on the severity of your disability, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits in addition to veterans' benefits.  In some cases, you may even be able to receive both Social Security Disability and VA Compensation.

 So that we can better focus on the special needs of veterans, we are not actively soliciting new Social Security Disability appeal cases.  However, we would be happy to discuss your potential Social Security Disability benefits along with your pending VA claim since there may be certain efficiencies for combined legal representation for both claims. 

WARNING!  If you have been received a notice that your claim has been denied by the Social Security Administration, you have a very limited time in which to appeal.  Acting promptly to preserve your claim is absolutely crucial.

DID YOU KNOW...?

• For Social Security purposes, a disability can be a physical impairment, a mental impairment, or a combination of physical and mental impairments.

• Social Security disability claimants include people from all walks of life, including skilled workers, professionals, and laborers.

• SSDI pays benefits to claimants who are "insured," meaning that they worked for a certain period of time and paid Social Security taxes.

• SSI pays benefits based on financial need.

• Both SSDI and SSI require the claimant to meet Social Security's definition of disability: total disability that results in the inability to work. The disability must last or be expected to last for at least one year, or to result in death.
