Social Security Disability Attorneys in Anniston, Alabama

Did you suffer an injury that left you disabled? Has a mental disorder or serious medical condition prevented you from working and earning an income? Are you living on a fixed income and need further financial assistance for basic living expenses?

You may qualify for Social Security benefits.

As stated by the Social Security Administration (SSA), the Social Security disability programs provide assistance to people with disabilities and those with limited or fixed income who need basic financial assistance. The SSA defines Social Security disability (SSD) as a program that provides benefits to a disabled person and his or her family if that person worked long enough to be "insured." Supplemental Security Income (SSI) pays benefits according to financial need. Typically, people who receive SSI are aged or suffer from long-term disabilities that have prevented them from working.

People may qualify for Social Security benefits if they:

• Suffer from a mental illness
• Have a serious heart condition or other ailment that prevents them from working
• Were seriously injured
• Are blind, deaf or suffer from another handicap
• Suffer from chronic pain that prevents them from working
• Are elderly
• Are severely disabled or handicapped
• Have another serious condition that requires they stay home or work limited hours
