If you are unable to work as you once did because of an illness, injury, or chronic medical condition, you may qualify for Social Security Disability benefits. However, the vast majority of SSD claims, even valid claims, are initially denied.

To schedule a consultation with an experienced Oklahoma City Social Security Disability lawyer, contact Bower & Bower. Allow us to explain how a well-prepared appeal can make a difference in the amount of your SSD benefit settlement.

If, through the appeals process, your claim is ultimately accepted, you will most likely receive a lump sum SSD settlement for past due benefits (back pay). The amount of your back pay for past due benefits depends on the date of the filing of your initial claim, as well as the date when your disability is decided to have begun.

Conditions that qualify you for Social Security Disability benefits must be serious enough to keep you from working for up to 12 months. Therefore, a successful Social Security Disability claim appeal may result in the payout of an SSD settlement covering benefits dating back as far as 12 months before the established onset date (EOD) of the disability.

Bower & Bower has been representing injured and disabled people in Oklahoma for more than 30 years. We advocate on behalf of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) claimants before DDS (Disability Determination Services) disability examiners and administrative law judges, providing them with ample compelling evidence as to the onset of our clients' disabling conditions.

Your initial consultation regarding SSD denials, appeals, and past due benefits settlements at Bower & Bower is free. Contact us through this Web site or by calling (405) 528-0047.
