The Time is Now to Protect Your SSD Benefits
If you are unable to work, and are considering whether you should apply for benefits through the Social Security system, there are some things you should know. You need to know your rights. You need to know your options. You need to know the challenges you face, and most importantly you need to know that there is no downside to applying.
You have spent a career, a lifetime, paying into a program designed to protect the injured and those unable to work. At the law offices of Smith & Cockett in Kingsport and Mountain City, Tennessee, we help clients who are temporarily or permanently unable to work take on the bureaucracy of the SSD system and recover the benefits they need.
When Injury or Illness Prevents You From Working
If you are physically unable to work, you should apply for benefits — and you should do it sooner rather than later. Even if your application is initially denied or delayed, once approved you are paid back to the date you first applied.
You risk nothing by applying. You could potential risk hundreds or even thousands of dollars by waiting.
Our office is a well-respected and experienced advocate for clients seeking SSD benefits throughout the Southeast. Our founding attorney, Harry Joseph Smith, has been a strong advocate for injured and disabled workers for more than 30 years, and has the proven record to be effective.
If you apply today and get your needed benefits, then you can be confident in a system that has worked for you. If you are initially denied for your claim, don't give up hope. It may be time to talk with a lawyer and protect your rights.
