SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY

New York Social Security Disability Attorneys

Every year, over 2 million people file for Social Security benefits because they are disabled and are unable to work for 12 months or more. Many more don’t even bother to apply because they do not understand that they can still try to work, or can receive Social Security Disability in addition to other benefits. The social security disability attorneys in New York at our firm can help you further understand your claim, and represent you if necessary.

You’ve worked and paid your taxes; you’ve paid into the system. Applying for disability benefits is simply applying for a benefit for which you have already made payments.

VA Disability Benefits: Who is Eligible?

Generally, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides disability benefits to members of the military who are injured or become sick while on duty as well as those whose pre-existing conditions are made worse as a result of service. Benefits are not taxed and are paid monthly in amounts that vary based on the recipient’s specific circumstances. A person who is able to work despite any impairments or who also receives Social Security Disability benefits may also be able to obtain VA disability benefits.
