Connecticut Social Security Disability Lawyers
Social Security Benefits Attorney CT
The Social Security Disability benefits program is designed to give monetary aid to those in the workforce who are no longer able to work because of an illness or disability. Unfortunately, after putting years of hard work into the system, more than 60 percent of all applicants are initially denied benefits every single year, and that number has been on the rise over the past few years.
Sixty percent of all applicants are forced to continue working, possibly making conditions worse, or have to rely on family members to care for them. To make matters worse, filing an appeal can be a lengthy and confusing process, often involving tons of paperwork and hours spent in a local Social Security office. The Connecticut Social Security Disability lawyers at Carter Mario know the ins and outs of the process, and will help you step-by-step on your path to getting the benefits you need.
Nearly 65 percent of all Social Security Disability benefits applicants were denied in 2007 at the initial level according to the Social Security Administration
