Social Security Disability
Knowledgeable Social Security Disability Attorneys in Brooklyn
Our law firm has decades of experience with New York disability laws
At Severance, Burko, Spalter & Masone, PC, we understand the difficulties you face while suffering from a disability and unable to work. The Social Security Administration (SSA) offers two programs that pay monthly cash benefits to those unable to work due to illness, injury or a worsening health condition:
- Social Security Disability (SSD)
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
Our New York Social Security Disability lawyers can help you determine which program is right for you under your circumstances.
We break down complex Social Security Disability laws and explain your options
- You must have paid enough into Social Security to be deemed “insured”
- You must not be gainfully employed
- You must be under a disability that has lasted or is expected to last at least 12 months
- You are under the age of 65
We provide winning legal solutions for your disability claim
If your initial SSD application is denied, there is no need to panic. More than half of first-time claims are denied in an effort to weed out frivolous claims. But many of these are not frivolous – they are just not completed properly. Our Social Security Disability lawyers know all the nuances of filing these claims and can help you file completely and properly. And, if your application is denied again, we stand by you all the way through appeal. We are determined to get you the benefits you deserve. We work with you to ensure you have all the medical documentation required to establish your claim and present your case in the most advantageous manner for a positive outcome.
