Social Security Disability Benefits/SSI Benefits: Apply or Appeal
Serving Northeast Philadelphia, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, and Camden County, New Jersey
If you are suffering from a disability and are unable to work, then Social Security Disability benefits/SSI benefits may be the only means you have of providing for such basic necessities as food, shelter and clothing. Unfortunately, many people who apply for these benefits find it difficult to fill out all of the complicated paperwork. What's worse, even when they do complete it, a small mistake can set their application back by months or even result in a complete denial.
At the office of Howard M. Hyman, Attorney at Law, we are here to help.

Helping Clients Who Need Help
Over the years, we have helped a variety of clients recover the benefits to which they are entitled, including:
- People with mental health problems
- People with disabling back pain
- People over the age of 50
- People with disabilities that make them unable to work
- War veterans, POWs, Vietnamese and other refugees
Expediting Your Hearing to Appeal a Denied Claim
In most situations, people have to wait months before their appeal can be scheduled. However, if your case is strong and well-organized with all the necessary evidence gathered, it is may be possible to get a judge to review and approve your appeal months or even a year earlier than if you had waited for a scheduled hearing. (Please note this should not be attempted without the assistance of an experienced attorney.)
Our Fee Structure for Social Security Disability Benefits
At the office of Howard M. Hyman, Attorney at Law, we understand that clients in need of SSD benefits/SSI benefits are usually unable to afford an attorney. Therefore, we handle all Social Security Disability/SSI cases on a contingency-fee basis, which means that if we are unable to secure benefits for you, we won't charge any attorney fees. In addition, our attorney fees come only from whatever "past due" benefit the judge awards you. Thus, if we are able to secure future benefits, but don't recover any past benefits that were unfairly denied to you, we will not charge a fee.
