People coping with physical impairments already face many challenges in their lives. The added financial stress and worry of being turned down for SSI, SSDI or long-term disability can make an already difficult situation feel overwhelming.

For nearly a decade, attorney Andrew Reichardt has helped people with a broad range of physical impairments, including:
- Back and neck pain
- Diabetes
- Multiple sclerosis
- Heart disease
- Musculoskeletal injuries

- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD)
Disability Benefits From The Social Security Administration for Physical Impairments
For years, you have worked and paid into the Social Security system. You didn’t choose to pay into the system; you were forced to. Now that you need them, it is only fair that you should receive the disability benefits to which you are entitled and for which you have worked so hard.
It may come as no surprise that the federal government has teams of agents working to deny and limit the Social Security Disability benefits you receive for your physical impairment. As many as 80 percent of people with physical injuries like back pain, heart disease and fibromyalgia are denied the first time they apply.
When you are denied, you face three important choices:
- You can give up
- You can re-apply
- You can appeal
Evaluating Your Options After a Claim Denial
Although the Social Security Administration (SSA) often suggests re-applying, this can be a bad idea. If you re-apply, your application just sits at the same level of process, and you never get any closer to a reviewing judge. At times like this, persistence, including an appeal if necessary, is critical to obtaining SSDI and/or SSI benefits.
While you may feel like giving up, working with experienced lawyer Andrew Reichardt can help improve your chances of getting the benefits you need. He will work hard to gather the necessary medical evidence and effectively present your case before the administrative law judge or other reviewing entity.
After a denial, whatever you do – don’t give up. Call us to learn how we can help.
