Indianapolis Social Security Disability Attorneys

The Hensley Legal Group, PC is here to help you.

Social Security Disability

There are many people throughout Indiana that have applied for Social Security Disability (SSD) and been denied. The Social Security Disability system was created to provide for those that are unable to work and need money to live. Unfortunately, most people are forced to apply several times and are still denied.

The Hensley Legal Group Can Help You

The attorneys at Hensley Legal Group understand the appeal process and the typical reasons why applications are denied. Our only goal is to help you and provide guidance in your effort to get approved for Social Security Disability (SSD). Contact Us and let our experienced attorneys help you though this lengthy and frustrating process.

Eligibility

Social Security only pays for total disability and total disability is determined by one's ability to work. People must prove that they cannot do the same work they did before and that they are unable to adjust to another form of work. A disability must also last for one year or result in death. Short-term disabilities will not qualify.

Social Security Will Ask the Following;

  • Are you working? - If you gross more than $900 a month your application will most likely be denied. If you are not working you must answer the next question...
  • Is your condition "severe"? - Severe means that your medical condition must interfere with basic work-related activities for your claim to even be considered. If the answer to this question is yes they ask you to answer the next question...
  • Is your condition found in the list of disabling conditions? If it is you can move on to the next question. The following links are to each of Social Security's adult list of medical conditions or impairments. There is also a List of Impairments for Children.
    1. Musculoskeletal System
    2. Special Senses and Speech
    3. Respiratory System
    4. Cardiovascular System
    5. Digestive System
    6. Genitourinary System
    7. Hematological Disorders
    8. Skin Disorders
    9. Endocrine System
    10. Impairments that Affect Multiple Body Systems
    11. Neurological
    12. Mental Disorders
    13. Malignant Neoplastic Diseases
    14. Immune System
  • Can you do the work you did previously? This is where things can get confusing. Social Security has to decide if your medical condition is severe enough to interfere with the work you did previously. They state that if your condition is "not the same or equal to the level of severity as a medical condition" on their impairment list they will determine if you are capable of doing the work. If they feel like you are capable they will deny the appeal. The Hensley Legal Group can help you with your Social Security appeal.
  • Can you do any other type of work? If your answer to the previous question was "No" Social Security will review your medical condition, age, education, past work experience and any transferable skills you have and decide if they feel you could adjust to another line of work. Unfortunately, many applications are denied. One of our experienced attorneys can help you increase chances of being approved by helping you file an appeal.
