Being disabled and unable to work and provide for your family can be emotionally and financially devastating. OWM Law Disability attorneys can help you navigate through the disability regulations and mandates. Applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) can be a lifesaver - and it can be complicated.

Many are denied benefits even though they are deserving. In order to receive benefits, you must provide proof that you are unable to work due to a medical condition that will last for at least one year, or could result in death. Many physical impairments can qualify for SSDI or SSI Benefits, but failure to meet deadlines or specific criteria can seriously delay the process and put you and your family at financial risk.

When you come in to see us bring all documents previously filed with the Social Security Administration and all notices. Be prepared to provide:

• A complete work history
• A list of all treating physicians
• A list of all medicines being taken
• Complete medical history
• All social security documents and notices
