Experienced Social Security Disability Lawyers Serving Florida
On August 14, 1935, President Roosevelt signed The Social Security Act (SSA) into law. Over time, the SSA continued to evolve for the better. There are two different disability programs administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA) with which our Florida social security disability attorney can help:
1. Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits (SSDI) and 2. Supplemental Security Income Benefits (SSI).
These programs were created to provide cash and medical benefits to people who have not yet reached retirement age but who are unable to continue to work because of physical or mental disabilities.
There are important differences between SSDI and SSI.
Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits
In order to be eligible for SSDI benefits you must:
✓ Be under full retirement age;
✓ Be found disabled under SSA’s 5 step sequential evaluation test;
✓ Be insured by earning the minimum required number of quarters of coverage based on your age.
Supplemental Insurance Benefits
SSI is for people who cannot work because of a physical and/or mental disability and have no resources. There are limits on how much you can have in the bank and what you can own.
You work history is NOT considered at all!

Going to a Social Security hearing without an attorney is much like walking into a lion’s den barehanded. You will be eaten alive!

5. Will you be charged an affordable attorney fee? Nancy Cavey handles every Social Security case, except a continuing disability review, on a contingency fee basis.

If you get your benefits at the initial application or Request for Reconsideration stage, the fee is $1,250 or 25% of the back benefits or $6,000.00 whichever is more. If you are awarded your benefits at the hearing stage, the fee is 25% of the back benefits or $6,000.00 whichever is less.
It is a one-time attorney fee set and approved by the Social Security Administration.

The Five Reasons The Social Security Administration Will Deny Your Claim and What You Can Do About It!
There is a lot at stake! If you are awarded benefits, you are entitled to money and medical benefits. Your spouse and children may also be eligible to receive financial aid.
The Social Security Disability claims process is complex and not the faint of heart. Innocent mistakes can destroy your Social Security Disability claim. Don’t make any of these 5 mistakes:
Mistake 1: You did not provide the proper medical evidence.
Mistake 2: You relied only on the records of your doctor and did not get your doctor to fill out a Residual Functional Capacity form.
Mistake 3: You did not go to the Social Security Consultative Examination.
Mistake 4: Your eligibility for benefits was limited because of a date last insured issue.
Mistake 5: You didn’t know how to cross-examine the Social Security medical or vocational expert who testified at your hearing.
You or your family member wouldn’t be reading this if you weren’t truly disabled. Chances are that you qualify for Social Security disability benefits and need experienced legal help to get the disability and medical benefits you deserve.
