Michigan Social Security Disability Insurance Lawyer

If an injury or medical condition prevents you from being able to work, it is necessary to find a source of income on which you can survive. Whether you are looking for social security disability insurance (SSDI) or supplemental security income (SSI), working with an attorney can help protect your rights. At Robert D. Paulbeck, Attorney at Law, we represent clients who are seeking social security disability insurance or supplemental security income.

Filing Claims and Handling Appeals

• Filing claims: Many clients who seek our help have already filed a claim on their own, and they come to us for help with their appeal. It is very common for people's initial claim to be denied, so it is important to work with an experienced lawyer on your appeal.
  
• Handling the appeals: All appeals must be handled within 60 days and will culminate in a hearing in front of an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). We work with clients to prepare for the hearing by obtaining medical documentation, and preparing the client for trial testimony.

SSDI vs. SSI

Social security disability insurance (SSDI) is available for people who have an injury or illness that prohibits them from working for more than one year. To qualify for SSDI, you must have been employed at some point.

At Robert D. Paulbeck, Attorney at Law, we work with clients who have injuries or an illness that prevent them from working. Injuries may have been sustained while on or off the job, and include both physical and mental conditions.

Supplemental security income (SSI) is only available for people who have never been employed. To qualify, clients must have less than $2000 worth of assets and have a mental or physical condition that prevents them from working.
