SOCIAL SECURITY & SSI
Our federal government knows that
illness and injury will keep many people from being able to work
before they reach their normal retirement age. The
government helps these workers with Social Security Disability
Benefits.
The government provides Supplemental
Security Income (SSI) for disabled people who cannot work but do
not qualify for Social Security Disability because they have not
worked long enough. Disabled children can also qualify for
SSI.
At Serrano & Serrano, LLC, we
have helped hundreds of injured and sick people throughout
Connecticut and the Springfield - Holyoke - Northampton,
Massachusetts area get Social Security Disability or SSI.
We look at
your case for free. We only charge a fee if we win your
case.
We have won benefits for clients
with many different types of disabilities, including:
 |
Physical Disabilities, such as asthma,
diabetes, herniated
disks and other lumbar and cervical
(back and neck) problems, arthritis, heart
problems, fibromyalgia, sleep apnea, AIDS, cancer,
hepatitis, cirrhosis and other liver conditions, brain
injuries, cerebral palsy, lupus, and hearing loss. |
|
Psychiatric
Disabilities, such as anxiety,
agoraphobia,
panic
attacks, depression, schizophrenia,
bipolar
disorders and mental retardation. |
|
Child
Disorders, such as learning
disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),
and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). |
Please call to schedule an
appointment to speak with us about your Social Security
Disability or SSI case.
You may also use a form to
confidentially send us information for us to review your case or your child's case.
