This information may help claimants with representation, as well as those who are not represented by an attorney or non attorney representative. Understanding how the Social Security Disability system works can make the difference between winning or not winning the ssd and ssi benefits and backpay to which a person is entitled. |

Unfortunately, there are few sources of assistance for those seeking Social Security Disability or ssi benefits based on disability.
Claimants in financial distress should contact their local Department of Social Services to see what help is available locally. Often, there are great differences between what individual counties are able to offer. However, a good way to start is to contact an adult services social worker at the local DSS. These workers can often point an individual in the right direction, regarding available sources of help and assistance. Claimants with equity in their homes may wish to consider the following: a) refinancing their home payment, b) refinancing their total debts, or c) drawing on an equity line of credit while their disability case is pending. Of course, it goes without saying that anyone starting the disability process should never incur new debts or obligations while the process is ongoing. Even if a case is later won and ssd or ssi benefits are awarded, the time involved in arriving at this end may be draining. Disability Advocates Help with Claims Free Case Evaluation |
