We represent clients throughout Duluth, Minnesota

Coping with a disabling mental or physical impairment caused by an injury or illness is difficult enough without the financial hardship of being unable to earn a living. Disability benefits available through the Social Security Administration (SSA) can help, but a difficult application process and complex federal regulations result in more than two-thirds of claimants being denied benefits they desperately need.

At Disability Partners, PLLC, a skilled and compassionate disability benefits lawyer helps you through the initial application process. Our experience, skills and unsurpassed knowledge of the law and regulations ensure that your application is accurate and supported by medical records to qualify for benefits.

We only get paid if you get the benefits that you are entitled to receive. Learn more about us during a free consultation and claim review with a Social Security Disability (SSD) lawyer.

How does an accomplished disability lawyer make a difference?

Our experience of helping people throughout Minnesota receive disability benefits through the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs gives you the best chance of achieving a successful outcome. A few of the ways we do this include:

• Attention to detail: The Social Security Administration has strict guidelines it uses when reviewing applications to determine eligibility for benefits. We take the time needed to ensure that your application contains accurate information and details about your disability to meet the SSA criteria.
• Extensive knowledge and experience: We combine in-depth knowledge of Social Security law and regulations with years of experience to cut through the complexities of the application process and avoid needless delays.
• Ensuring you get the benefits you are entitled to receive: Just because your application is approved does not mean that our job is done. We review the approval to make sure that you receive all the benefits the law allows.

If you filed an application and were denied benefits, let an SSD lawyer appeal the denial and fight to get you the benefits you need and deserve. According to a report from the U.S. General Accountability Office, people who had a representative assisting them with their appeal were three times more successful than those who did not.

How to Qualify for Disability Benefits

Both the SSI and SSDI programs provide benefits to people who cannot work because of physical or mental impairments. The same definition for “disabled” is used to determine whether adults qualify for benefits through each program. You must be unable to engage in a substantial gainful activity because of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that is expected to last for at least one year or result in death. An SSDI lawyer will help you determine whether your medical condition meets these criteria.

A child with a disability must have a medically determinable physical or mental impairment causing marked and severe functional limitations and is expected to last for at least a year or result in death to qualify for SSI benefits. An SSI lawyer can help you with an application or appeal for SSI benefits for a child.
