In our current political climate, there’s a lot of conversation about the future of programs such as Medicaid, which helps a lot of Tennesseans obtain affordable healthcare coverage. If you’re currently benefiting from Medicaid, you are probably pretty anxious to see how everything shapes up in the next several months. Like Medicaid, Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits can be life changing for Tennesseans with a disability, but securing those benefits isn’t easy.
The obstacle many disabled Tennesseans face is the application process. In order to qualify for SSD benefits, you must prove that you cannot do any type of work, not just the work that you’ve done your entire career. Proving that level of disability can be difficult on your own, which is part of the reason more than two-thirds of all initial SSD applications are denied.
At Ponce Law, we don’t have a button we can hit to automatically get your SSD application or appeal approved, but we will do everything within our power to make sure your appeal is as strong as it can be. We know the system. We know what helps get claims approved. And we know the pitfalls to avoid along the way.
If you’ve been denied SSD benefits, call our experienced Social Security Disability attorneys today for a free consultation. We’ll review your case at no cost, and if we take your case, we’ll work to get you the benefits you deserve.
