If your health, physical or mental, deteriorates to the point that you can no longer work, Social Security disability benefits are available. These monetary benefits are often the only money coming in to help those that are unable to help themselves.
Although assistance is available, it is not always easy to get. The majority of people will have difficulty in understanding and coping with the claims process, as such it is a good idea to consult with a knowledgeable Social Security lawyer in Tennessee.
The Social Security system:
Today, over 8 million Americans that are physically or mentally disabled are receiving benefits. Over and above these recipients, there are 35 million retirees that receive Social Security checks. Social Security is funded by employee payroll taxes; it is understandable that when an individual retires or suffers a disability, that help would be available. In the case of retirement benefits, this is true. However, the same cannot be said for those in need of disability benefits, about 65 percent of all applicants have their claim rejected.
How lawyers can help:
For those that are denied their rightful benefits, there is help available. A Social Security lawyer in Tennessee is well versed in the laws, rules, and regulations that apply to appeals and can provide professional assistance at all levels of the process.
When you work closely with a Social Security lawyer, you can rest assured that all filing will be done on time and that your case is well documented and presented. Disability lawyers are accustomed to working with clients that find themselves having difficulty with their finances, as such they do whatever they can to expedite the process, seeing to it that you receive benefits as soon as possible.
Applying for disability benefits can be difficult for those unaccustomed to dealing with the federal government. A Social Security lawyer in Tennessee is well versed in the laws and rules that apply and can help you through the process.
