Representing Clients From Lake Charles to Baton Rouge
Louisiana Disability Lawyers
There are many factors that the Social Security Administration (SSA) considers in determining eligibility for Social Security benefits. Most important is that your disability will last at least 12 consecutive months or result in your death. You must also have worked for 10 consecutive quarters prior to becoming disabled. If you do not meet just one of these criteria, you will likely be denied benefits.
If your initial application for benefits has been denied, you should speak to an experienced Social Security lawyer immediately. You have the right to appeal the decision, and having the right representation on your side can go a long way toward securing a positive result. The Lafayette Social Security Disability attorneys at the McKernan Law Firm represent clients throughout Louisiana in all types of these cases.
