How Our Michigan Social Security Lawyers Are Different

When we say “every step of the way,” we mean it.

Most Social Security Disability law firms don’t help when you’re first applying for benefits. They tell you to file the application yourself and call them back when you’re denied.

We help from that first step — all the way to a federal court appeal if needed.

Putting together an application takes a lot of work: Preparing medical records and job records, then filling out lengthy forms. Getting it right can make all the difference to your case.

The Michigan disability lawyers at Levine Benjamin want to maximize your chances of winning benefits from the very beginning.

Using this approach, we’ve helped more than 80,000 people win benefits since 1964.

We bring the same values — putting you in the best position for success — whether your claim is for Social Security Disability or long-term disability.

Which Benefits Do You Need?

When you’re sick and it’s disrupting your livelihood and finances, you deserve every form of help available to you, including:

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) for people with qualifying work records
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for people with limited financial means
A long-term disability insurance claim if you have a policy
Medicare Advantage health coverage, which you get with SSDI

The Levine Benjamin Michigan disability law firm looks for every type of disability benefit or medical care that you may qualify for.

We know this isn’t just about money — It’s about winning back your independence.

Types of Benefits

Almost any medical condition can give you a strong claim for disability benefits if it’s severe enough that you can’t work.

Your impairment could come from diseases, injuries, strain on your body over time, mental health problems and more.

Social Security specifically lists many qualifying illnesses, and it spells out the types of medical evidence you should provide to win benefits with each one.

But even without those exact impairments — or if you have a combination of different impairments — you can still win benefits.

You do that by showing Social Security that the activities you can handle day to day are limited by your ailments. Social Security has a formal name for that: “residual functional capacity.”

Your residual functional capacity is a measure of how much you can do physically and mentally.

You want to work with an experienced disability lawyer in Michigan who knows how you can meet all the technicalities of applying for disability benefits.

Having health problems and needing disability benefits is a highly personal situation. But don’t shy away from the benefits you’re entitled to receive—that can make your life easier—when you can’t work.

Why Get a Michigan Social Security Disability Attorney?

It’s possible to apply for Social Security Disability benefits on your own, but it can feel like a job in itself—at a time when you don’t have energy for a job.

And most people get denied for disability benefits anyway.

Your Social Security Disability attorney takes on the legwork for you. And you don’t have to pay anything up front: THERE’S NO ATTORNEY FEE UNTIL YOU WIN.

With a disability lawyer helping you, you get:

Someone who knows what you really need to get disability benefits and what you don’t.
Someone who knows how to factor your age into your disability application.
Someone who stands by you in front of a disability judge when you need to appeal a denial.

Along the way, your Michigan disability lawyer can help you collect records of your medical treatment, get information from your doctor, organize your job history, make sure your forms are filled out correctly, and keep you on top of important deadlines.

And maybe most important of all, your lawyer can provide personal care to you in a process that often feels cold.

With a lawyer who’s been through the disability applying process thousands of times, you have a guide who’s paying attention to your needs, making sure you aren’t lost in the system.

The Michigan disability attorneys at Levine Benjamin help people all over Michigan from our office in Detroit. And we help our neighbors in Ohio.

It never costs you anything to call us and tell us about your situation, so we can see what kind of claim you have.

It’s time to start moving toward a more stable, secure place in life.

“From the beginning…to the end, I was given attention and understanding. When the time finally came for court, COVID-19, aka the coronavirus, hit us, and (we) ended up having to do a telephone hearing. Claire (the attorney) never wavered. Thank you again for…winning my case. I feel validated and heard.”
