Social Security Disability – Disability Claims – Disability Appeals
If your ability to earn a decent living has become hampered due to a disability, the Federal government, through the Social Security program, has established a means for you to receive subsistence payments in place of that income. Nobody gets rich on disability payments, but the payments help a person survive with the disability that they have.
However, the bureaucratic process is difficult, complicated, and requires tenacity. Too often, the first application for disability benefits is denied. That’s when you need to get an attorney to assist you with the process (indeed, the Social Security Administration does not allow an attorney to represent you in the initial step of making a claim).
The first step to obtaining disability benefits is to make application at your local Social Security offices. You can apply online with Social Security and learn more information here:

The second step, after your initial application has been denied, is to immediately contact an attorney. Time frames for appealing a denial of benefits are short, and you need Dan Slater at this step to help you through the byzantine process of appealing your benefits decision. It may take a number of appeals steps to get your disability application approved, but Dan Slater will work with you every step of the appeal process to ensure that you understand what is happening, and what you can expect.
