Adult Disability Lawyer Akron OH
Because Disabilities Don't Disappear at 18...
It really doesn't get any easier to take care of disabled children just because they've had 18 birthdays and become a legal adult.
If you're worried about what you'll do, about how you will be able to continue caring for your adult child without that added monthly income, call or contact Ohio's leading disability law firm, Shifrin Newman Smith Inc.
We can help. Better still, it won't cost you a dime to have us get started. In fact, you won't be asked to pay any fees unless we recover the benefits for you.
In 1998, Shifrin Newman Smith Inc. received the Ohio Legal Assistance Foundation's Pro Bono award for our attorneys' efforts to help disabled children who had been cut off from SSI benefits.
A Parent's Work History Goes a Long Way
Many people are not aware that the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program also provides benefits to disabled adult children who meet the following criteria:
- The disability began before age 22 and continues to the present
- The disabled adult child has never been married (except to another similarly disabled adult)
- The disabled adult child has at least one parent who is receiving Social Security retirement or disability benefits; or who died but had worked long enough to have been eligible for SSD benefits
If all three of these conditions are met, adult children can continue to receive benefits for as long as they are considered disabled. More importantly, the adult child can possibly receive more benefits based on the parent's work record rather than SSI.
Our offices are located in Akron, Cleveland and Toledo, and our lawyers help people obtain SSI benefits for disabled adult children throughout the state of Ohio.
Our law firm has been exclusively dedicated to handling claims for government disability benefits since 1985. Our lawyers are driven by our passion for helping people who need it. Even if your case is difficult, we'll do whatever we can to help you obtain benefits.
