Social Security Disability and Arthritis
Painful arthritic conditions can prevent you from having meaningful and gainful employment. Unfortunately, getting the Social Security Administration (SSA) to agree that your condition is severe enough to qualify you for benefits can be difficult.
At Shifrin Newman Smith Inc., you will find the experienced legal help you need to obtain arthritis-related Social Security disability benefits from the government. Our law firm is passionate about helping people who need it and has been solely dedicated to handling disability claims since our doors first opened in 1985. In the years since, we have helped thousands of Ohio residents.
If you are thinking about applying for Social Security disability benefits, or you have already had a claim for benefits denied, let our attorneys start helping you. Schedule a free consultation today by calling 877-230-5500 or contacting us online.
Help your own cause. In addition to seeing your doctor and taking prescribed medications as directed, you can strengthen your claim for disability benefits (and improve your overall quality of life) by exercising regularly, eating right and shedding any excess weight.
