Social Security Attorneys Atlanta
Social Security Attorneys understand that disability as defined by Social Security is based on your inability to do any substantial gainful activity for which you are suited by age, education, and experience. In addition, your disability must be expected to last for at least a year or result in death. Unfortunately, it is oftentimes difficult to meet Social Security's definition of disability even when you are truly disabled. However, it is possible to appeal the decision. This is called asking for Reconsideration. If you are turned down again, you can request a Hearing before an Administrative Law Judge to plead your case and should engage one of the best social security attorneys Atlanta has to offer. The Social Security Lawyers at Affleck & Gordon, P.C. have successfully represented thousands of Georgia claimants who got their benefits after previously being denied over and over again.

When a person has worked for a specified amount of time and suffer from debilitating mental of physical disabilities, they may be eligible to receive Social Security Disability benefits from the government. Some conditions that would qualify an individual for benefits include:
- depression/anxiety
- blindness
- arthritis
- heart disease
- paralysis
- orthopedic injuries
- diabetes
- neurological disorders
The Social Security Administration pays disability benefits under two programs: the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. The medical requirements are the same for both programs, and whether a person's disability meets the requirements is determined by the same process. Eligibility for Social Security Disability is based on prior work for which Social Security taxes were paid, whereas eligibility for SSI disability payments are made on the basis of financial need. Children as well as adults may be able to collect disability benefits.
