Social Security Disability Claims in Tennessee
If you are disabled because of illness or injury and are unable to work, you could be entitled to Social Security Disability benefits. But getting SSD benefits is a long, complex, and challenging undertaking that can overwhelm you with paperwork, jargon, and deadlines. In fact, the requirements for Social Security Disability benefits are so stringent that about two-thirds of the folks who file claims are denied on their first try.
While you don’t have to have an attorney to file for SSD benefits in Tennessee, we always recommend that individuals seek the advice of a Social Security Disability lawyer before completing the initial application. Your free consultation gives us a chance to understand the complexities of your case and gives you an opportunity to decide if you’d like to work with us.
So contact us today to schedule an appointment. We’ll be with you at every step!
