Re: eligability
Your son may be eligible. The disability that you describe is listed in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) as a disability. There are other symptoms and findings that MUST accompany the diagnosis. He should apply for benefits and in most cases the Social Security Adminstration always deny these types of claims. You should not be discouraged by such denial and you should appeal the denial. I must say that most people that get denied, do not appeal and accept the decision. You should not accept the denial and should appeal. I do Social Security appeals. Most cases that are won are won at the appeal stage. So don't give up. If you apply and get denied, you can call me and I can file the appeals for you. Do not worry about attorney fees, as I work on a contingency. This means I only get paid if I win the case. If you win, you will be paid retro active benefits from the time you apply for benefits or from the date your son became disabled. The process will take approximately one year or more. So if you win, there will be retro active benefits and it is from those benefits that an attorney can charge a fee. It is 25% of that first retro active check. That is a one time fee and it is paid out of your benefits and paid by the Social Security Administration. You should apply and if you get denied, you can call my office and I will consider representing you (your son).
Call me directly or email me. I do not charge for any consultations and only charge a fee If I take your case and only if we win.
