Get Legal Help For Your Social Security Disability Claim

If an injury, illness or congenital condition has made it impossible for you to support yourself financially anymore, you might qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSD) benefits. Like thousands of other people in the Hartford area, you have earned a certain amount of SSD benefits through your work history. These benefits can help keep you and your family financially secure for the rest of your life.

Getting approval for SSD benefits is not easy. But at The Law Offices of Januszewski McQuillan and DeNigris, LLP, we have been helping disabled clients fight for benefits since the program began in 1956. Our lead attorney, Martin McQuillan, has represented thousands of clients in the Hartford area dealing with a rejected SSD claim. He is thoroughly familiar with how the system works and what it takes to make a successful appeal.

No Financial Risk To Hire An SSD Lawyer

If you are not working due to a disability, you might think you cannot afford to hire an experienced SSD attorney. But we take SSD cases on contingency. That means you owe us nothing until we win. There is no financial risk to you and, potentially, much to gain from working with our firm. The SSD application and appeals process is complicated. An error can take away your rightful benefits. We will take that burden out of your hands and make sure your case for benefits is clear and backed by sufficient evidence.

FAQ On Social Security Disability In New Britain

Suffering a disabling injury or condition in New Britain requires getting assistance from an attorney you can trust. Disability benefits are administered by federal and state-level agencies, so there are complexities that require local understanding. Our earliest job for our clients is helping them understand where they are and what they need from their case by answering their most vital questions. Below are some of the questions we get the most.

What are some disabilities for which you can apply for SSD?

Under Social Security, there are many qualifying, listed types of disabilities that can fall into one of 12 categories, which include:

• Musculoskeletal disorders: Loss of limbs, paralysis, deformities

• Sensory concerns: Blindness, deafness and other disorders impacting a person’s ability to interact with the world.

• Cardiovascular disorders: Heart conditions and blood pressure conditions that make stressors dangerous.

• Mental disorders: PTSD or schizophrenia or any other mental disorder that keeps a person from being able to work.

The list goes on, but it is not necessarily the condition that leads to the disability eligibility, but rather how that condition impacts the afflicted individual.

What common issues come up when filing a claim?

When filing a claim, some of the common obstacles you may face are concerns about whether the injury or condition is disabling. The determination for disabling conditions is based on how long you’ve been unable to work due to the condition, not the condition itself. One of the most fought-over factors is when your period of inability to work began.

Another common problem is your work history, as eligibility for Social Security Disability is tied to a working history. If a person doesn’t have enough “credits,” they may not be able to receive disability. That said, there are options and ways forward for almost any combination of factors.

What can you do to prepare for the claim or an appeal?

You can prepare most effectively by consolidating all your legal documents and paperwork. Compile your medical records. And don’t post on social media about any legal proceeding. These are a few of the basics of getting ready for court or any legal process. Your case is unique to you in a lot of ways. How you will prepare is something that you can only really understand after a lengthy discussion with us. We will provide you with the roadmap for what you must do before your hearing. Your first step is reaching out.
