Flower Mound, Texas SSDI Lawyers

Attorneys for Social Security Disability Benefits in Flower Mound, TX

There are few things that can be as worrisome for a family as a serious injury or illness that affects a person's ability to work. Those who suffer from these types of issues may struggle to earn enough income to support themselves, causing them to be concerned about how they will pay their ongoing expenses while also covering the costs of treatment and addressing other issues, such as paying for medical equipment, medications, or assistive devices. Those who have suffered from serious physical or mental health issues that have lasted or are expected to last one year or more may be able to receive financial assistance through Social Security.

While disability benefits can provide invaluable financial help for an individual or family, meeting the requirements to qualify for these types of benefits can be a complicated process.

The Law Offices of Coats & Todd can offer the legal help you need.

Flower Mound SSD Benefits

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) may provide assistance for people with disabilities who have the necessary work history based on their age. In these cases, disability benefits will be based on the work credits a person has earned as an adult, the Social Security taxes withheld from their wages, and their average income. For those who do not qualify for SSDI, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) may be available, as long as a person has limited income and financial resources.

To qualify for disability, a person will need to prove that their condition has affected their ability to earn enough income to be considered to participate in substantial gainful activity (SGA). Some types of conditions are included in the Social Security Administration's "Blue Book," which lists different types of impairments that are severe enough that they automatically qualify a person for disability benefits. If a person's specific health issues are not listed in the Blue Book, they may qualify for disability based on health issues that are equivalent to one of the listed impairments, or they may be able to demonstrate that their condition has made them unable to maintain employment. During the application process, medical evidence will need to be provided to show that a health condition has limited the person's ability to perform work-related tasks to the point where they cannot perform work they had done in the past and cannot find work in jobs that would fit within their physical or mental limitations.
