Delaware County Social Security Disability Lawyer
If you have been out of work, or expect to be out of work, for a minimum of 12 months due to an injury or other disability, you may qualify for benefits under Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or both. In order to be eligible, you must meet specific disability or age criteria according to U.S. Social Security Administration guidelines.
The application process can be confusing and the help of an experienced attorney can go a long way toward submitting an application that makes the most powerful case for approval of your Social Security Disability benefits. Havertown, Pennsylvania, based attorney Edward R. Dougherty has been helping clients throughout the Philadelphia metro with Social Security related issues for more than 25 years.
In addition, if you suffered a disabling injury in a workplace accident, you may be eligible to receive both workers' compensation and Social Security benefits. Mr. Dougherty has extensive experience helping clients navigate these complex cases.
