Social Security Disability
Louisville, Kentucky • Social Security Disability Attorney
The Law Office of Michael P. Sullivan in Louisville, Kentucky, has been helping people negotiate the complicated application process of the Social Security Administration for over fifteen years. I will help you file for Social Security Disability Income (SSDI or SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability benefits. I work with my clients to make sure that they avoid the common mistakes that cause delay and denial of benefits.
Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income eligibility may seem pretty straightforward—you are either able to work or you are not. But because of rule changes, difficult applications, and long waiting periods, the application process—for SSD, especially—can be difficult for individuals filing without an attorney. You may overstate your work history and job skills. You may not have the appropriate medical records or may have missed a relevant part of your medical history.
Get Your Application Right the First Time
The appeals process can be a long one if your application has been denied. With only a few exceptions where the process can be expedited—utility cutoff, foreclosure and eviction, or terminal illness, it can take up to 18 months or longer just to get an administrative hearing. While the approval rate for initial applications is low, it can help to have an experienced attorney assist you in filling out and filing an application or the appellate paper work.
