Social Security Disability Insurance and the Supplemental Security Income are the two programs through which the government pays disability benefits. These benefits may be paid if you have a medical situation that is expected to last at least one year.  There are other programs available if you have a partial or a short-term disability.

We want to be the attorney to represent you if you have a severe physcial or mental condition that prevents you from working.  Our purpose is to guide you throughout the entire process.  We'll assist you in filing your initial application.  Should your claim be denied, we will work hard to file your appeals. Gathering the proper medical evidence for your hearing will prepare you for questions the judge and other attorneys are likely to ask. We believe that your claim is important and doing our best to help you get the financial and medical benefits you deserve is the #1 priority for all the attorneys at Kassin & Carrow.
