SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY BENEFITS IN RICHMOND, VA
Do You Qualify for SSD Benefits? Call Our Richmond SSD Lawyers!
If you are unable to work due to a chronic illness, physical disability, or mental handicap, you may qualify for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits. These benefits are regulated by the federal government and are essential for individuals who had previously been employed, yet are unable to work due to a disability.
One of the complications that may arise when applying for your Social Security Disability benefits is that you are left waiting for several months to receive your initial benefits, or that you are denied benefits due to a clerical error. At Harbison & Kavanagh, our Richmond Social Security disability lawyers have the knowledge and tenacity necessary to help this process and ensure that your claim is handled properly.
We proudly serve the residents of Richmond, Petersburg, Charlottesville,
Williamsburg, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and the surrounding areas.
Primary Qualifications to Obtain Benefits
There are two primary qualifications necessary to obtain SSD benefits in the state of Virginia.
- The qualifications necessary to obtain benefits include:
- You must be disabled: For at least 12 months you have been unable to work or expect to be unable to work due your disability and do not foresee being able to work in the near future.
- You have previously paid into social security: During the course of your lifetime, a portion of your income has been deducted from your paycheck and will be used to determine your potential benefits.
Benefits can be granted on a temporary or permanent basis depending on the nature of the disability. While disability benefits are typically tied to one’s average lifetime earnings, for younger individuals benefits can also be calculated based upon their parents’ income.
