SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY 

If you are unable to work because of an illness or injury, you should file for Social Security benefits.  To start the process you must go to any local Social Security office and file an application for benefits.  The Social Security Administration will contact your doctors and obtain your medical records.  They may send you to their doctor for an evaluation. 

If you have been turned down for benefits you have (60) sixty days to request a reconsideration or request a formal hearing before an administrative law judge. 

• You were turned down for Social Security benefits within the past (60) sixty-days;

• You want representation before an administrative law judge;

• You have any questions about Social Security disability.
