Handling SSD Benefit Claims for People Over 50
If you are over 50 and can no longer work because of a permanent disability, it is important to speak with an attorney to learn about your rights and options. At Terry Katz & Associates, PC, we have been helping disabled people over age 50 obtain Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits since 1992. If you are wondering about your future, we can help.
Experience, Knowledge, Compassion and Results
The Social Security Administration makes it easier for people over age 50 to obtain SSD benefits. For example, if you have been working in the same industry your whole life and become disabled after age 50, you will usually not be expected to learn a new trade or profession, as would be the case with someone younger.
Do Not Give Up if Your Initial Claim Is Denied — We Can Help
Even with different eligibility standards, many people over 50 have their initial claims denied. Appealing the decision is the next step. Our lawyers manage your appeal from the beginning to the end. We handle all the details, go to court to fight for you and ensure that your appeal is complete, timely and persuasive.
SSD Representation With a Personal Touch
Anyone Can Suffer a Career-Ending Disability
We represent people in the construction industry whose back problems have become disabling. We have helped carpenters with hand injuries who can no longer handle the tools of their trade. Our clients have included long-haul truckers, warehouse workers and others working in physically demanding jobs. Whatever your previous job, our lawyers will review your age, work history and education to determine whether you might qualify for SSD benefits under the "over 50" eligibility guidelines.
