SSD & Mental Conditions Attorney in Lake Oswego, Oregon

If your life is paralyzed by anxiety or depression, you may be able to collect Social Security Disability. In fact, about one-third of all awards for Social Security Disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are mental health and mental disorder claims. Yet 75 percent of these disability claims are turned down at first. In Portland, our proven Mental Disability lawyers of JP Law PC can step in to help meet the high burden of proof. We have secured Social Security Disability benefits for hundreds of clients throughout Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and beyond.

Proving the Disability in Mental Disorder Claims

A diagnosis of mental illness is not enough. Many people are able to keep a job despite their mental condition, through medications and other therapy. To obtain disability benefits, we must convince the Social Security Administration that your mental impairment is truly disabling — ability to concentrate, social functioning, and activities of daily living.

Judges will rule against people who seem more active than their disability claim says — going shopping, going to the movies, attending social events. Your Portland mental disability lawyer works with you and your doctors to document the bigger picture — challenges, anxieties, and suffering that prevent you from functioning in the workplace and fully engaging in life.
