represent people who suffer from mental or physical disability, or any

petitions to receive the benefits you need.
If you have worked
long enough and have a medical condition that prevents or is expected to
prevent you from working for at least 12 months or result in death Social Security
pays disability benefits to you and certain members of your family. The work
requirement is waived for applicants who can prove that they became disabled at
or before the age of 22. If you have been disabled and are age 22 or younger
you may be eligible for what is considered a “child’s” benefit.
In the
state of Mississippi there are more than 7 percent of nearly two million
residents that receive monthly disability benefits from the Social Security
Administration. Every year more people apply for Social Security Disability benefits and many of these applicants receive a denial of their
initial disability application.
In order
to obtain the benefits you may be rightfully entitled to, you must undergo a
disability appeal process. Request for Reconsideration is the first stage of
the appeal process. If you are denied your reconsideration request then you
must obtain a disability hearing before an Administrative Law Judge to receive
disability benefits. In order to obtain the benefits you may be rightfully entitled to,
you must undergo a disability appeal process. We can assist you with this
process.
