Seattle Social Security Disability Attorneys
At Leonard Moen & Associates, we help residents of King County and Pierce County obtain Social Security Disability benefits. There are two types of disability benefits available through the Social Security Administration. Both require a medical/vocational finding that the claimant cannot work due to a medical and/or mental disability of least 12 months. The benefits include a monthly check and medical benefits.
- Social Security Disability Insurance benefits are available only to those who have an active work-history.
- Social Security Insurance is a needs-based program, providing minimal benefits to those without the work-history requirement and very few other resources.
Applying for Social Security Disability benefits can be confusing, frustrating and extremely time consuming. Almost all claims are initially denied and require reconsideration and appeal. The reconsideration and appeal processes are usually required before benefits are granted.
Social Security Disability rules and guidelines change every year. Even when the claim is justified, the claim is often denied. This is the primary reason having proper representation by a lawyer who can advocate for you is so important, especially during the hearing stage of the process.
It can take a long time to obtain Social Security Disability benefits. With decades of experience in Social Security Disability claims, we offer the personal counsel and care needed by someone whose life has been affected by a devastating personal injury or illness. We use our knowledge, skill and experience to guide people through the system as quickly as possible.
