Social Security If you have a permanent disability
and can no longer work because
of your impairment, you may be eligible to receive Social Security
disability benefits including a
monthly payment to supplement your income (SSI) and/or health
care and prescription
coverage.
The criteria for qualifying for
Social Security is
extensive and the application
process takes a long time. The government is in
no hurry to give
benefits and
most
people will be denied on
the first application. However,
you can
appeal your decision
and have your appeal heard
before an Administrative Law Judge.
Attorney Richard M.
Brooks has successfully
assisted many people in
receiving their
social security benefits.

Workers Compensation and
Social Security
Worker's Compensation
Everyday, thousands of people are injured while on the job.
Worker's
Compensation is an insurance paid by the employer to provide
the injured worker with
the necessary medical care and treatment for their injury.
In some instances, Worker's
Compensation will pay an injured worker for the time they
have missed because of their
injury and any diminished future earning capacity. The Worker's
Compensation laws change
frequently so you will need an attorney that has a working
knowledge of these changes
and can assist you in getting the compensation you need and
deserve.
