The government takes money for social security out of your paycheck year after year. You should be able to collect Social Security Disability Benefits if you have been injured, especially since you have paid into it since the beginning of your work life. If you have worked long enough and become injured or ill to the point you cannot continue working, it is only fair to begin drawing on your social security disability benefits. These are your Social Security benefits. Get what is rightfully yours.

You can call and powerful Virginia Social Security Disability Law Firm at 447-4747.

Why Do I Need a Virginia Social Security Disability Lawyer?

Most people who apply for Social Security disability benefits are turned down a minimum of two times, even when represented by a qualified Virginia Social Security disability lawyer. If you're injured, unwell and struggling to get the disability benefits you desperately need, you don’t need double talk. You need a quick solution.

You may have to have an administrative law judge hear your claim before you can receive your disability benefits. It is strongly recommended you have a strong and aggressive attorney by your side at this stage. Of course, there is no guarantee that your benefits will be awarded, but retaining an experienced social security disability lawyer in Virginia can guarantee your case will be appropriately developed for the hearing.

Since the majority of claimants have no idea how to go about advocating for themselves, preparing their case for the hearing, gathering the necessary records or even understand the maze of Social Security Disability rules and regulations, your attorney can be an invaluable asset in winning your case. Additionally, the “date of onset,” or the date when your disability payments begin, can be affected by the length of time with which you have suffered from your disability.

A lawyer familiar with Social Security disability claims understands this, and knows that convincing the administration to accept the earliest date of your symptoms as the beginning of your disability may mean more ‘back pay’ for you. Kalfus & Nachman PC can help to answer your Social Security Disability questions.

Overall, while an attorney is not required, it is extremely unwise and may result in losing your benefits altogether. Click here to learn more about the SSDI process.
