NYC Social Security Disability Benefits Lawyer
If you suffer from a serious qualifying illness or injury that prevents you from being able to work for 12 months or more, then you may be eligible for government assistance through the Social Security Administration. Designed to give seriously disabled people access to a source of income when they cannot work, these programs are a life line for many people across the nation and New York City.
At the Robert Koenigsberg Law Offices, our disability attorney, Maria C. Makis, is dedicated to helping people apply for or appeal denials for Social Security benefits. We will work closely with you to put together the right evidence to support your claim and cut through the bureaucracy wherever possible.
Working With Clients Facing the Challenge of Muscular Disorders
Many clients who file for benefits through Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are at least initially denied, particularly if they have no assistance in putting together their application. The process of getting benefits can be a difficult one, and having a trusted and knowledgeable adviser on your side can make a significant difference.
Our office works with clients facing the challenge of serious illness or muscular disorders. We help you put together the evidence, documentation and paperwork that the government is looking for, and we help you file any appeals or argue you case through administrative hearings.
We work with clients who are seeking benefits due to such conditions as:
- Multiple sclerosis (MS)
- Muscular dystrophy
- Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS)
- Nerve damage
If you have multiple sclerosis or another progressive or degenerative disease, you may be facing disability, loss of sight and other physical challenges that prevent you from working. Our goal is to help you get the benefits you need to survive and move forward.
