The Dilley Law Firm has been helping clients obtain Social Security Disability Benefits and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for over twenty-five years. An award of benefits under the Social Security programs, entitles individuals to receive monthly checks and medical benefits. If you are not working because of an illness, an injury or emotional problem, you may be eligible to receive Social Security benefits. Our lawyers can help in your appeal if you have been denied benefits.
According to the Social Security Act, to qualify for disability payments (either SSDI or SSI) you must prove that you cannot do any work for which you are suited due to a medical condition that is expected to last for a minimum of a year, or is terminal. While an estimated 6.5 million people received Social Security benefits last year, many first time applicants were denied and others had their benefits terminated. Insufficient medical proof of a disabling physical or mental impairment is often to blame for a negative outcome.

We can help you complete applications and other forms and collect medical records or other necessary documentation. We will help appeal your claim if you are denied benefits and will ensure that all requirements and deadlines are met. If you must appear before a Social Security Administrative Law Judge in a hearing to determine your eligibility for disability, your attorney will prepare you for the hearing and present your case before the judge.
