Hickory Social Security Disability Lawyer

Social Security Disability Attorney in Hickory, NC

If you have suffered an injury or illness that no longer allows you to work, you are entitled to seek disability benefits through the federal Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits program.

SSDI is not a welfare program. It is an insurance program you paid for. If you have paid into the SSDI premium program through automatic payroll deduction or by direct payments if you were self-employed, and you paid into the system within the past 10 years, then you may apply for SSDI benefits.

We Can Handle Everything About Your SSDI Claim

There are many types of injuries and illnesses, such as serious personal injuries, that qualify as permanent disabilities by the Social Security Administration. Although you are entitled to seek benefits for your disability, the system is complex and frustrating. A very high percentage of initial claims are denied, often because of technicalities or problems with the medical records.

Hiring an experienced SSDI lawyer to help gather records, file the paperwork correctly and move your claim through the system gives you the advantage and benefit of knowing that your claim will be handled efficiently and you have someone pushing hard for acceptance.

Talk to attorney Lyndon R. Helton to learn more about the process and whether you qualify for the benefits you have paid for.
