Social Security Benefits

It can be difficult to take the first step in applying for Social Security Disability benefits, and even more difficult to carry on if you’ve been denied. Don’t give up hope!

The majority of those who are initially denied Social Security Disability will be approved upon appeal.

The time from initially filing your claim to finally receiving the benefits that help to make ends meet when times are tough can be up to two years or even longer.
