He can look at your individual situation and answer questions you likely have, including:
Does my condition qualify for Social Security Disability?
Any physical or mental health impairment that makes it impossible to work can qualify for disability benefits.
How do I apply for Social Security Disability?
You’ll need to fill out Social Security forms, add medical documents and other supporting information, and file your disability application online, over the phone, or in a Social Security office.
Should I appeal a denial of Social Security Disability benefits?
Most of the time, yes. It is common to apply for disability benefits and get denied. Filing an appeal and further arguing your case may be your best chance of getting approved.
