Social Security Disability Lawyers in Traverse City, Michigan
The social security lawyers in Traverse City, Michigan at the Neumann Law Group can assist you if your application for Social Security disability has been denied. In order to receive Social Security disability, you must have enough work credits from working in a job covered by Social Security and must meet Social Security’s definitions of disability. If you have been unable to work for more than a year due to a disability or sickness, you may qualify for Social Security disability. Under Social Security disability’s rules, your disability or illness must interfere with your ability to do basic work activities, including activities like standing, lifting, walking, sitting, or remembering. Social Security also has a list of qualifying conditions, but just having a condition on the list may not qualify you for Social Security disability. Conditions that qualify for Social Security disability include ALS, blindness, emphysema, heart failure, epilepsy, cancer, certain mental conditions, and certain immune disorders. Your condition must be found to be serious enough to qualify. Social Security will also ask you whether you can continue doing work you did in the past or determine whether it is possible for you to change careers.
