Supplemental Security Income Claims
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) provides monthly payments to those 65 or older, blind, or disabled with a documented disability. Many eligible applicants are denied SSI benefits due to the complex and intimidating application process. We guide our clients through this process and develop strong cases for appeals. Contact us at 850-434-8778 if you were wrongfully denied SSI benefits. Our experienced attorneys have helped many people secure the benefits they depend on for essentials.
Appealing Denial Notices
Most people who apply for disability benefits receive a denial notice, often due to minor mistakes or filing errors. It is vital to seek the assistance of an experienced lawyer as soon as possible if you and your family rely on these benefits. We can help you if you were wrongfully denied benefits, including long-term disability, Social Security Disability, Supplemental Security Income, workers’ compensation, ERISA benefits, and veterans disability. Our lawyers have successfully appealed numerous denials, securing the benefits our clients are entitled to. Discuss your situation with us during an initial consultation to see how our services can help you achieve your goals.
