Helping Families with Disabled Children
As experienced SSDI and SSI lawyers, we have learned that a strong application can greatly enhance the chances that the Social Security Administration (SSA) approves a client's claim the first time around. In order for your Lake Oswego family to be eligible for social security disability for children, you will have to meet specific requirements, and the SSA will want detailed information about the child's condition. We will go over all these details with you and help compile the necessary information so we can present the strongest possible application to the SSA.
In many cases, it will be necessary to go through one or more stages of the appeals process before you you are approved for social security disability for children in Lake Oswego or throughout the Northwest. This begins with a reconsideration of an application and can result in a hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ). We work to make this part of the process as manageable and low-stress as possible for our clients.
If your child has certain conditions, such as Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or is deaf or blind, you may be able to receive SSI benefit payments while the SSA considers your application. We can help you evaluate all your options.
