Lake Charles SSDI and SSI Claims Attorney

Mr. Pias assists people in obtaining Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits that they desperately need. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) provides income to people who cannot work due to a disability, either until their condition improves, or for life if it does not. These benefits may also be paid to a disabled worker's spouse and/or children.

The Social Security Administration's criterion for receiving benefits is that a person must have a physical or mental disability that prevents him or her from engaging in gainful employment for at least a 12-month duration. However, medical records alone often do not effectively prove that a person's disability prevents him or her from working, and many claims are initially denied. We often call upon experts to show exactly how a particular diagnosis affects an individual's ability to work.

Workers' compensation and Social Security benefits can be paid at the same time, but there is an upper limit on the monthly benefits received.
