DISABILITY LAW FIRM PRACTICE AREAS
Helping You Obtain Social Security Disability Benefits
At Pashler & Devereaux, we specialize in assisting individuals to obtain Social Security Disability benefits, which are vital for those who are unable to work due to their disabilities. There are two main categories of benefits: Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
SSDI is administered through the Social Security trust fund and is primarily based on an individual’s work history and disability status. To qualify, applicants must have earned sufficient work credits, be under the age of 65, and have a qualifying disability. Proving a qualifying disability can be complex, which is why our experienced lawyers can guide you through the application process and help build a strong case. If your initial claim is denied, we can also assist with the appeals process.
On the other hand, SSI is designed for individuals facing economic hardship due to their disabilities and lack of work history. It is funded by taxpayers and has stringent medical and economic standards for eligibility. Our legal team can help you navigate the requirements and present a compelling case for receiving SSI benefits.
Determining which program applies to you can be challenging, but our attorneys can provide valuable guidance in this regard. We understand that the application process is multifaceted and involves various factors related to your medical condition and personal circumstances. With over 20 years of experience, we have helped numerous clients throughout western and upstate New York navigate the complexities of the disability benefits application process.
If you’re interested in learning more about how an attorney can help you qualify for disability benefits, or if you’re considering applying for Social Security Disability after the age of 50, we are here to provide the support and information you need.
Veterans Disability Compensation
Are you a disabled veteran seeking benefits from the Veterans Administration (VA) and the Social Security Administration (SSA)? Navigating the complexities of these systems can be challenging, but our experienced veterans’ benefits attorneys at Pashler & Devereaux can guide you through the process and ensure you receive the maximum benefits you deserve.
At Pashler & Devereaux, we understand the differences between VA and SSA benefits. For instance, the VA uses a schedule of disability ratings ranging from 0 to 100 percent, with only veterans rated at 10 percent or more being entitled to monthly compensation payments. Our dedicated team can help you gather the necessary medical records and other relevant information to strengthen your case and secure the benefits you are entitled to.
Whether you are pursuing benefits from the VA or SSA, our attorneys can provide the legal expertise needed to navigate the complex appeals process. We understand the importance of being found disabled by one agency and how it can impact your case with the other. Our team can help you make the best use of the favorable legal standards in your disability case.
