Social Security Disability Attorneys Who Will Fight for Your Rights. . .

If you have been denied Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits, you need an attorney who will fight for your rights, and get you the benefits you need and deserve. At Mansmann and More, Attorneys at Law, we can help.

“Disability" is defined by the Social Security Administration (SSA) as a person's inability to perform any kind of work for which is suited because of an injury or a medical condition. The disability should be expected to last for at least one year, or result in death. The disability can be a result of a physical or mental condition, or a combination of a number of such conditions.

Disabled persons or their families are eligible to collect Social Security Disability Income or SSDI. Once benefits begin, they will continue as long as the person remains disabled.
It sounds like a simple process, yet the Social Security Administration (SSA) often denies claimants who are truly disabled by making the process very difficult.

There are thousands of people who apply for SSDI each year. The lines are long and the forms are complicated. Benefits for legitimate claims are often denied—not only once, but several times. As a result of the denial of benefits, some people become discouraged, and give up, even though they are rightfully entitled to disability income.

Disability is a subject you may read about in the newspaper, but not think of as something that might actually happen to you. But your chances of becoming disabled are probably greater than you realize.
Studies show that a 20-year-old worker has a 3-in-10 chance of becoming disabled before reaching retirement age.
While we spend a great deal of time working to succeed in our jobs and careers, few of us think about ensuring that we have a safety net to fall back on should we become disabled. This is an area where Social Security can provide valuable help to you.
This disability planner will explain the benefits available, how you can qualify, and who can receive benefits on your earnings record. It will also explain how to apply for the benefits and what happens when your application is approved.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a Federal income supplement program funded by general tax revenues (not Social Security taxes):

It is designed to help aged, blind, and disabled people, who have little or no income; and
