Nearly every disabled individual who applies for disability benefits through an employment based disability plan or from private disability insurance is encouraged or even required to also apply for disability benefits from the Social Security Administration.  The employer provided disability plan will usually provide for a benefit after offsetting the benefits you receive from the Social Security Administration.  

Your employer may provide you with the forms for filing a claim for social security disability.  However, you may be left in the dark about what exactly qualifies you for benefits and, most importantly, what to do if your initial application is denied.  An attorney can help you have the best chance of getting the benefits you deserve from the Social Security Administration.  If your claim is denied, we can appeal your case.  

Because of the unique interaction of benefits from the Social Security Administration and ERISA plan disability benefits, we represent our clients with both claims for benefits to minimize your burdens and responsibilities.
