Social Security Disability

Macon Social Security Disability Lawyer

Social security disability insurance (SSDI) was established by the federal government to provide people who are unable to work for an extended period of time, or ever, with a guaranteed income. Unfortunately, as noted above, the program was established by the federal government. Almost by definition, this means that the process is confusing, fraught with pitfalls, and seemingly endless.

If you have been seriously injured or are mentally or physically ill, having an attorney to help guide you through the SSDI process can be invaluable. Put our experience and dedication to work for you and contact our Macon, Georgia, law offices today.

At Nelson & Smith, LLC, we help people in Middle Georgia who cannot work secure the income benefits they need through the social security disability program. Most claims for SSD benefits are denied the first time whether they are valid or not. People who do not have a lawyer may fail to understand that this is simply "par for the course." As a result, they do not take the steps necessary to keep their claim moving forward. If they wait too long, the entire process must start over.

Once a claim has been denied the first time, you or your lawyer must file a request for reconsideration of the initial decision. Most reconsideration hearings also result in denied claims. This is not unusual. Following this, a hearing before an administrative law judge must be requested and it is at this hearing where most claims, if prepared and presented correctly, will meet with success.

The entire process may take up to two years.

You can count on us to be there for you from the beginning of your case through its conclusion—however long that takes. We will help you find qualified medical providers, deal with bill collectors, and keep you fully informed and involved in the case at all times.
