Understanding Social Security Disability Benefits
Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits are available to you and certain members of your family if you are unable to work due to a disability. But in order to qualify for SSD benefits you must be deemed disabled according to strict guidelines set by the Social Security Administration.
Unfortunately, many people who apply for SSD benefits are denied. Rainwater, Holt & Sexton Injury Lawyers are familiar with the application and appeals process for SSD, and we can help.
Do You Qualify for SSD?
You may be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits if you cannot do the work you did before; you cannot adjust to other work because of your medical conditions; your disability has lasted or is expected to last for at least one year or result in death; and you suffer from any of the following conditions:
- blindness or deafness
- breathing problems
- cancer
- chronic heart disease
- extreme psoriasis involving hands and feet
- HIV positive
- immune system disorders
- mental disorders
- multiple sclerosis
- neurological disorders
- obesity
- rheumatoid arthritis
- seizures despite the use of medication
- other severe medical conditions

What If You’ve Been Denied?
According to the Social Security Administration, nearly 65 percent of all Social Security Disability applications were denied in 2007. If you have been denied benefits and are unable to work, you don’t have time to wait for a lengthy appeals process. You need money now to support your family.
The appeals process can be long and complicated. Having the help of a knowledgeable Mississippi Social Security Disability attorney at Rainwater, Holt & Sexton can potentially speed up your appeals process.

If I am qualified for benefits, how do I get paid?
