Gulfport Social Security Disability Lawyers

Any person who has paid into Social Security and suffers a physical or mental condition that will keep them from working for a year or more may be eligible for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits. It does not matter if you were injured on or off the job, in an accident, became ill or developed a condition.

Whether your cancer, mental condition or other severe illness is preventing you from working, SSD benefits can help support you and your family. At James K. Wetzel & Associates, P.A., we can help you determine if you are eligible for SSD benefits. We walk clients through every stage of the process, from the initial application and through any appeals of denied claims. We will explore every avenue to get you the benefits you need and deserve.

Appealing a Denied Claim in Mississippi

It is a sad fact that many Social Security Disability claims are initially denied. This does not mean, however, that you should give up on your claim. Our attorneys may be able to secure benefits for you through the appeals process.

The appeals process allows you to have a hearing before an administrative law judge. The judge will make an independent ruling on whether you are entitled to benefits. You will need an attorney or a qualified legal representative to represent you at that hearing.

Our lawyers are skilled in administrative law and understand the practice, laws and procedures that can help you in your appeal. We will collect the information and medical records necessary to show your medical needs and your inability to return to your former job.

Medicare Eligibility and SSD

SSD benefits also entitle you to Medicare coverage. At our firm, we will work with you to understand your needs, fight for SSD benefits and secure Medicare coverage so you can get the long-term treatment, medical coverage and support that you need.
