Social Security Disability

Fink Rosner Ershow-Levenberg represents claimants seeking Social Security Disability benefits for long-term and permanent disability. Workers who can no longer engage in substantial gainful activity due to severe, lasting, medically determinable impairments that prevent them from performing their prior occupation may be eligible for disability income benefits through Social Security and for Medicare for health insurance. Applications are filed at the local Social Security office.

Claimants seeking Social Security Disability benefits should seek legal guidance to prepare for the administrative hearings and to maneuver through the bureaucratic maze of paperwork. We represent the claimant at three levels of administrative appeals: Reconsideration, Administrative Hearing at the Office of Hearings and Appeals, and the Appeals Council. Call us as well regarding Termination of Benefits or alleged Overpayment problems.

1. We assist you in collecting the necessary medical records.
2. We prepare and argue your case for you.
3. If you are not insured under the Social Security disability system, we will represent you in your effort to obtain benefits under SSI (Supplemental Security Income) and Medicaid. We will prepare Special Needs Trusts ("d(4)(a) Trusts") to preserve your assets and expedite that process.

We participate in NOSSCR, the National Organization of Social Security Claims Representatives.
