Are You Disabled?

Representing the Injured in Nevada

Proving you're disabled is a key component to qualifying for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits. But collecting the medical documentation from acceptable medical sources can be frustrating and time-consuming.

The Las Vegas Social Security Disability representative at Richard Harris Law Firm wants to take that burden off your shoulders. We know what sources are acceptable, how to collect the necessary medical evidence, how to present your symptoms, and how to best prepare your claim or appeal.

Definition of a Disability

According to the Social Security Administration (SSA), a disability is defined as:

the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity (SGA) by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment(s) which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.

When you apply for benefits, the SSA will evaluate if you've worked enough years to qualify and your current work status. If you meet the work-related requirements, your local Disability Determination Services (DDS) office will review your medical evidence and ask your doctors or medical providers about:

What your medical condition is
When your medical condition began
How your medical condition limits your activities
What the medical tests have shown
What treatment you have received
Your ability to do work-related activities

If you need help preparing your application or are appealing a denial, our Social Security Disability representative can help. We want you to feel confident when you apply for benefits. Call us today at (702) 444-4444 or complete a free initial consultation form.
