Disability Benefits in Bibb County
At Affleck & Gordon, we dedicate nearly 100% of our practice to disability law. Our focused approach allows us to utilize all of our resources, experience, and skill to help disabled workers, veterans, and low-income families secure the benefits they are entitled to receive. To date, we have helped tens of thousands of clients throughout Georgia with everything from first-time disability applications to administrative appeals of denied claims.
We provide our legal services on a contingency fee basis. This means that you do not pay any upfront or out-of-pocket attorney fees when you hire our firm. Instead, we collect attorney fees and other litigation-related costs only if and when we collect benefits on your behalf.
What Are Disability Benefits?
Generally speaking, disability benefits are monthly payments made to qualifying individuals and, in some cases, their dependents. Different disability programs have different qualifications; the exact type of benefits you are applying for will determine the different requirements you must meet.
At Affleck & Gordon, we assist clients with three main types of disability claims:
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
- Veterans’ disability benefits
The Social Security Administration (SSA), a federal government organization, oversees both SSDI and SSI. Veterans’ disability, on the other hand, is overseen by the U.S. Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA).
Our attorneys have extensive experience navigating all types of Social Security and VA disability claims and related matters, such as consultative examinations (CEs), compensation and pension (C&P) examinations, denied claims, appeals, administrative hearings, and more.
To learn more, including how we can help you with your claim, call (404) 990-3945 or contact us online and request a free consultation with one of our disability lawyers in Macon, GA.
