YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GET CASH DISABILITY BENEFITS NOW

 The US Social Security Administration makes cash payments to covered individuals who have long term disabilities that make them unable to continue working.

You may qualify if

  • Your condition will keep you from working for 12 straight months or more
  • You are not currently working
  • You have worked at a qualifying job during the past 5 years
  • You have medical evidence to support being disabled

The Forsythe Firm in Huntsville has helped thousands of disabled individuals collect Social Security disability payments.  We are specialized in Social Security and that's all we do.

Why would you need a lawyer or advocate to help you?

1.  The majority of new applications are denied.  Up to 8 out of 10 are denied.  (Your chances are better with legal representation)!

2.  Social Security's process is complex and unusually difficult.

3.  Your claim will probably require an appeal and/or a hearing to be approved.

4.  You will need help gathering medical evidence to get paid.

5.  You never want to go before a judge unrepresented.

How Does a Social Security Attorney Get Paid?

Social Security requires that you be approved for benefits and receive past due payments before you pay a legal fee.  If you do not collect past due benefits, an attorney may not charge you a fee. So, there is no upfront fee and you never have to pay until you win and recover a past due benefit (in cash).

At the Forsythe Firm consultations are always free and without pressure or obligation.  Just call us at (256) 799-0297 or (256) 503-8151.

MEETING SOCIAL SECURITY'S DURATION REQUIREMENT FOR DISABILITY

SSDI, or Social Security Disability Insurance, requires a severe impairment which has lasted for at least 12 straight months, is expected to last at least 12 straight months OR is expected to end in death. This 12 consecutive months requirement is called the "Duration Requirement."  Disabilities with a duration of less than 1 year are not covered under the Social Security Act. You do not have to wait 12 months to file a claim. There is no requirement to wait 12 months to file.  But if your disability has not already last for at least 12 months, the nature of the impairment must be such that is can reasonably be expected to last 12 months or longer OR to end in death.  Short term impairments are not covered. What you will need to document for your medical and/or mental impairment(s):   A claimant will require objective medical proof.  This comes in the form of official medical records from doctors, clinics, hospitals, counselors, therapists and other professiona...

SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS FOR DOWNS SYNDROME

Downs Syndrome may qualify for automatic SSI disability in children. A child with Translocation Syndrome or Trisomy 21 will usually be classified as disabled from birth. This type of syndrome affects about 98 percent of the Downs Syndrome population. Social Security will want a diagnosis from a medically acceptable source and they will want certain tests.Once the documentation is presented, an SSI award may be automatic.  Those with Mosaic Down syndrome may qualify, but your child would need more than a diagnosis to be approved. Because [according to SSA] people with Mosaic Down syndrome may not have as many intellectual or physical disabilities as those with other forms of Down syndrome, you’ll need to meet another listing in the Blue Book to qualify. Social Security will consider the complications or manifestations of Downs Syndrome in making a decision. If the claimant is a child (under 18), k eep in mind that SSI is a needs-based program for families with limited resources...

MUST YOU MEET A LISTING FOR SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY?

You hear talk of getting SSDI benefits by "meeting a Listing."  What are the Listings? The Blue Book listings are found in the regulations at 20 CFR 404, Subpart P, Appendix I. The Listings are divided into 12 body systems.  Each severe impairment is listed under its respective body system.  For example, Congestive Heart Failure is listed under Section 4.00 - Cardiovascular System. When you go there, there is a list of severe symptoms, and they are severe.   If you exactly meet or equal the list of very extreme symptoms you will be automatically approved for disability. Here's the problem:  Meeting one of the listings is about as likely as winning the Super Lotto.  It is very, very unlikely that you will do so. Thus, 99 percent of claimants do not and cannot get approved by meeting a listing.  The listings are only for catastrophic, extreme impairments that most claimants simply do not have--or do not have at the severity level demanded by the listings...
