Helping Raeford Residents With Disability Claims
Applying for SSDI or SSI is not just about filling out forms—it’s about proving how your medical condition impacts your ability to work. That requires medical evidence, work history, and clear documentation. For someone dealing with illness or disability, this can feel overwhelming.
Our firm is here to lift that burden. We focus on disability cases and take the time to understand your condition, explain your options, and build a strategy that fits your situation. Whether you are applying for the first time or appealing a denial, we provide step-by-step guidance so you never feel lost in the process.

Long-Term Physical Injuries and Chronic Pain
Mental Health Conditions Like Depression or Anxiety
Respiratory Illnesses Such As COPD or Severe Asthma
Neurological Disorders, Including Epilepsy or Multiple Sclerosis
Other Serious Medical Conditions That Prevent Steady Employment
Our role is to gather the documentation needed, communicate with healthcare providers, and ensure your claim is supported by the strongest possible evidence.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Guidance
For individuals in Raeford who have limited income and resources, SSI can be a vital lifeline. Unlike SSDI, SSI doesn’t depend on work credits but instead focuses on financial need and disability status.
We assist clients in gathering the right financial information, confirming eligibility, and preparing complete applications. Even if you’ve been denied before, we can review your case to see what went wrong and help you reapply.
Appeals After a
Denial
It’s common for disability claims to be denied at first. That doesn’t mean you don’t qualify—it means the process demands a detailed, accurate approach.
We handle appeals at every stage, including
- Reconsideration of Your Application
- Hearings Before an Administrative Law Judge
If you’ve been denied, remember: you only have 60 days to appeal. Acting quickly gives us more time to prepare your case and improve your chances of success.
