Olympia disability lawyers will fight for the Social Security or SSI benefits that you deserve If your physical or mental health makes working difficult or impossible, you may be entitled to Social Security disability or SSI benefits. Qualifying for benefits, however, is often an uphill battle. You must convince the Social Security decision makers that you meet Social Securitys unique definition of disability. The Social Security Administration is a huge government bureaucracy with many rules, regulations, and definitions. Its no surprise that most claimants feel confused, frustrated, and alone as they attempt to obtain their benefits. Many disability claims are incorrectly denied at first, but later are approved after a hearing. Thats why it is vitally important to appeal if your claim has been denied. Your best chance of success is at a hearing before an administrative law judge.
