Social Security Disability is a benefit for people who meet the requirements of a medical condition that is expected to last at least one year and prevents a person from engaging in substantial gainful employment activity. Even if you cannot work enough to support yourself or your family, Social Security Disability benefits can be awarded if a person meets certain criteria pursuant to the guidelines. If you have been denied your claim for Social Security Disability (SSD), filing a timely appeal is imperative. Contact Shirley A. Makuta, Esquire to discuss your specific case.
