Social Security Disability Attorney Securing Benefits For Clients in Manatee County

Severe mental and physical conditions can interfere with your ability to work and make a living. If you are no longer capable of performing your job duties due to a disability, you may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits.

There are two disability benefit programs, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). These monthly benefits are paid to eligible individuals with long-term disabilities. But unfortunately, even eligible individuals may find it hard to obtain the disability benefits they deserve.

Most initial applications are denied, which means you will have no other choice but to go through the complex process of appealing the denial. Don’t face this battle alone—turn to the experienced Social Security disability attorneys at Carlson Meissner & Hayslett for help.
