Absolutely NOT! When an individual is limited enough by their condition, or various conditions (mental, physical, or both), to the extent that they can no longer work, either at one of their past jobs, or at any other form of work deemed suitable by the Social Security Administration (based on a claimant's age, work skills, past work requirements, current level of restrictions, and level of education). The key is having an experienced lawyer who handles your claim throughout the process. Be cautious of national companies that promise the moon. I challenge you to call and ask to speak with an ATTORNEY. In most cases your only contact with an attorney is if your case goes to hearing and often the national companies only send a non lawyer "representative". At the Minnesota Social Security Disability Law Center you will have a very experienced licensed Minnesota attorney to assist you with your claim.Even if you have been turned down in the past you may still qualify for Social Security Disability. We look at every file with a fresh perspective. Because of our meticulous work in preparing your file from the initial claim and through a hearing if necessary, we find that our success rate is significantly higher than the average Social Security Disability claimant. All we need from you to get started is 30 minutes of your time to go through your medical history and provide you with our opinion on your options for proceeding with a claim.
