Get Help with Your Disability Application
Most attorneys don’t help with the very first step in the Social Security disability process: building your application. They tell you to apply on your own—and come back when you’ve been denied.
Not us.
At Levine Benjamin, we start with your initial application and stay with you through every level of appeals.
Our attorneys can help you apply online, by mail or in person. We take care of the details, so your application has the best chance of success.
The earlier you get us involved, the better.
Long-Term Disability Claims in Michigan
If either you, or your employer, paid for long-term disability insurance , you expect it to be there for you when you need it.
Insurance companies sometimes have other plans.
They drag their feet, or outright refuse, to provide the financial assistance you’ve been paying for.
But when you’ve been sidelined from work because of major health problems, long-term disability benefits can make a huge difference for you. They can preserve your financial security.
This is too important to let the insurance company ghost you.

Figuring Out Medicare Advantage
Getting health coverage from Medicare is life-changing.
You get access to the treatment you need—in a way you can afford.
Even better, when you know your health needs are better taken care of, you can live more confidently.
Retired people often talk about how great it is to get Medicare. When you get Social Security Disability benefits, you can get Medicare before retirement age. This may be just as valuable as the monthly disability checks.
Your next step is shopping for what’s called a Medicare Advantage plan. Like shopping for any insurance, it’s pain. Comparing plans is complicated. You worry you’re missing something that should be covered.
The Levine Benjamin disability law firm has Medicare Advantage advisors who can get you through this process with the best plan for your needs.
We’re here to make Medicare Advantage enrollment—and your life—easier.

KEEPING YOUR CASE MOVING DURING THE CORONAVIRUS
“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.”
