Social Security Disability

McLawhorn & Associates can help clients who have been disabled for a year or more and who are having trouble receiving their Social Security disability benefits. Injured and disabled persons are entitled to monetary benefits from Social Security if they have consistently paid into the system, yet often petitions for benefits are rejected. If a disabled petitioner has been rejected twice they are entitled to a hearing before the Social Security Administration, though many petitioners get discouraged and give up after the initial rejections. It is highly advisable for a disabled client to go through the hearing process and to hire an experienced attorney to help them prepare for the hearing and advocate on their behalf.

There are several different kinds of Social Security disability programs including Disabled Widows and Widowers Benefits; Disabled Adult Child Benefits; and Supplemental Security Income for those inured or disabled petitioners who have not made enough payments into the Social Security system to qualify for regular benefits. The attorneys of McLawhorn & Associates are experienced in all areas of Social Security benefits and can guide clients through the system. The fee for this service is contingent on the client receiving benefits and typically based on a percentage of the benefits due to the petitioner from the first day of his disability until the time of the successful decision.
