Social Security Disability Lawyers For Clients In Vero Beach, Melbourne, Port St. Lucie, Okeechobee And Fort Pierce

If you are injured or suffer from a medical or psychological condition that prevents you from working, and your disability is expected to last at least one year, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability or Supplemental Security Income benefits. Social Security can be a very important financial resource for a person who is out of work.

Facing the Social Security Administration on your own can be very difficult and intimidating. If you believe you have a claim and would like assistance filing your application, or you filed an application and have been denied, you should contact Matheson and Horowitz immediately at 772-571-4109.

Understanding Your Rights To Benefits

At Matheson and Horowitz, our attorneys understand that navigating the Social Security Disability system can feel overwhelming. We believe everyone deserves access to the benefits they have earned through years of work and contribution to the system. Many applicants face denials despite having legitimate disabilities that prevent them from maintaining employment.

We are dedicated to helping you understand your rights and the various benefits available under Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs. Our team has extensive knowledge of the qualification criteria, application procedures and appeal processes that can make the difference between approval and denial.

Common Challenges In The Application Process

We frequently see clients who have become frustrated with the complex application process. The Social Security Administration denies approximately 65% of initial applications, often due to technical errors, insufficient medical documentation or misunderstanding of the disability criteria.

Our attorneys are familiar with these common pitfalls and can help you avoid them. We work closely with your health care providers to gather comprehensive medical evidence that clearly demonstrates your inability to work. Additionally, we ensure all paperwork is completed accurately, submitted on time and contains all necessary supporting documentation to strengthen your case from the beginning.

How We Support Your Appeal

If your application has been denied, you are not alone, and you have options. We assist clients through each level of the appeals process, from Reconsideration to Administrative Law Judge hearings and beyond if necessary. Our approach involves thorough preparation, including developing compelling arguments based on your specific medical conditions and work limitations. Our goal is to secure the disability benefits you need and deserve to maintain your financial stability during this difficult time.

How Our Attorneys Can Help You Succeed

Social Security Disability can be a lengthy and difficult process. The majority of people are denied initially. If you are denied, it is important that all deadlines be met. While an attorney is not required in order to proceed with your Social Security Disability claim, an attorney can greatly improve your chances of success. Often, an individual is not aware of the criteria that need to be met in order to successfully prevail on their Social Security Disability claim. Our attorneys can assist you with your Social Security Disability claim in the following ways:

• Meeting with you personally to provide you with an honest appraisal of your case and the work necessary to obtain a successful resolution.
• Developing and supplying Social Security with all relevant evidence to give you the best chance of prevailing on your claim.
• Making sure that the evidence is in a language and form that Social Security will recognize.
• Working with your doctors, if necessary, to develop additional evidence.
• If a hearing is necessary, helping you prepare for the hearing. We can assist you with all aspects of the hearing including, when to arrive at the hearing, how to dress for the hearing, what will take place at the hearing, what questions you may expect to be asked and when you can expect a decision.

The partners at Matheson and Horowitz will personally handle all aspects of your case. Your case will not be handled by an associate or paralegal. We will be available to answer your questions regarding any aspect of your Social Security claim.
