Maine Disability Attorneys – ME Benefits Lawyers
Maine residents who become disabled and are no longer able to work may be eligible to file a claim for Social Security Disability benefits. However, many of these claims are initially denied and legitimately disabled people go without the compensation they need to survive. A Maine Disability lawyer can help, by offering legal representation and recommendations for improving the success of a disability claim.
The federal government offers several programs that provide financial assistance to disabled people. People who have previously worked and paid Social Security tax are eligible to apply for the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program. A person must be completely disabled, meaning that the injury or illness is severe enough to limit employment and prevent the disabled individual from earning a living.
In order to receive Social Security Disability, an individual must submit an application that documents previous earnings and payment of Social Security tax, as well as proof of the disabling medical condition. The Social Security Administration then submits the claim to the Maine agency, who will handle the review and investigation of the claim.
Understanding what type of injury or illness constitutes a disability can be confusing. The Social Security Administration maintains a list of specific medical conditions and emotional conditions that meet the disability criteria. However, even if a person has one of the stated conditions, proving that within a claim can often be challenging. Claims must contain medical records and reports that clearly establish the disabling condition, and sometimes a claim may be denied simply because the claims adjuster didn’t understand the information submitted.
Disability claims are often rejected for a variety of reasons – and often the disabled person struggles with the mountain of paperwork and time-consuming process of filing an appeal. A Maine Disability lawyer can offer valuable assistance. Attorneys familiar with Social Security disability claims know what the SSA looks for when evaluating claims. Often applicants don’t understand how to present the information needed or leave out a medical report by mistake – and a disability lawyer can review the claim to make sure it contains everything that it should.
