Social Security Disability

Our attorneys have extensive experience with the Kentucky SSD and SSI appeals process. Even if you have been denied benefits before, our familiarity with the application and appeals process, complex forms, deadlines and other technicalities could help to reverse the decision. We get to know you and your situation and help to provide important details in the legal terms the Social Security Administration (SSA) is looking for.

Common causes for denial of benefits:

• Criminal record: A criminal record is a red flag in the SSA office because the disability may be the result of illegal activity. Do not worry, you can still qualify for Social Security with a criminal history. An attorney can tell you what options may still be available to you.
• The SSA and DDS could not reach you: These are the committees that determine benefit eligibility. They should reach out to you during the application process for medical exams and paperwork. A disability lawyer managing your case can act as a middle man, speaking to the SSA on your behalf.
• The disability does not qualify: Based on the information you provided, the SSA may not consider your disability severe enough to warrant compensation. There are several reasons this may be the case. If you disagree with their decision, reach out to a Louisville social security disability attorney to have them reevaluate your case and see if reapplying will be beneficial.
