If your SSDI or SSI claim has been denied by the Social Security Administration (SSA), the prospect of navigating the system again can be very frustrating. People are often denied their benefits if they fail to establish sufficient medical proof showing they are entitled to benefits. It is important to remember that the SSA routinely denies claims, so do not give up.
At the Fresno Law Offices of Gary J. Hill, we will help you prove that you meet the SSA's criteria for disability. Attorney Hill is a former staff attorney with the SSA's Office of Disability Adjudication and Review, and brings to every case valuable insight into how the agency evaluates and denies benefits claims. Contact us today, and let this experience work to your advantage.
SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) is a benefit based on the Social Security taxes you paid into the system during your employment history.
SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is a needs-based program, where individuals meeting certain income and resource requirements receive benefits based on age or disability.
We offer legal representation for individuals seeking SSDI or SSI benefits, who suffer from physical and mental impairments, including:
At the Law Offices of Gary J. Hill, our attorney is committed to helping injured or disabled individuals prove that they meet the SSA disability standard, along with income and resources requirements. We will identify, assemble and present the medical evidence needed to put forth your strongest case for entitlement to SSDI or SSI benefits.
For every client, we will assess the whole medical picture, not just the isolated injury or most recent physical ailment. Often, it is a mistake to focus on one physical factor, when it is really the combined impact of pre-existing conditions and the recent impairment(s) that make work unmanageable. In all hearings before the SSA, administrative law judge or other reviewing body, we will work to ensure that you accurately testify about the nature and extent of your impairment.
We are conveniently located in downtown Fresno, within easy walking distance of the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board and all courts before which we practice. There is no legal fee unless we recover for you. Contact us to schedule your free initial consultation. We are open 8:30 to noon and 1 to 5, with other times available by appointment.
