Is a Medical Condition Keeping You From Working?
We know it can be hard to know when you should contact a disability lawyer. You may wonder whether your condition is serious enough, whether you have been out of work long enough, or if too much time has already passed.
Back pain, spinal issues, joint aches, breathing issues, heart conditions, chronic pain, injury-related conditions, and other medical conditions can affect what you are able to do at work and in daily life. Roose Ressler & Green helps individuals to understand their work history, treatment, medical records, current limitations, and time away from work and explains how those details may fit into the SSDI process.
You may want to contact our team at Roose Ressler & Green if:
- You are not working because of a medical condition that has lasted, or is expected to last, at least 12 months and limits your ability to work
- You have been out of work for several months or longer and are not sure if you can still apply
- You are thinking about applying for Social Security Disability, or you need help understanding what Social Security may require
- Your Social Security Disability Insurance or Supplemental Security Income claim was denied, and you want to understand your appeal options
