As Denver disability attorneys, we know that the road to an award of Social Security disability benefits often is a long and trying one. Dealing with a large government bureaucracy like the Social Security Administration is difficult under the best of circumstances; dealing with this bureaucracy when your health is compromised can be overwhelming. Add to this the stress of not being able to work, and it is almost enough to make you think about walking away from the process entirely. We hope you won’t do that. At Radosevich & Dixon, we have helped hundreds of disabled individuals navigate the Colorado Social Security system. Whatever stage of the disability benefits process you are in, we can provide steady guidance.
Are you considering applying for SSD benefits?
If you are unable to work because of a physical or mental condition that has lasted or is expected to last at least 12 months, then you should consider applying for Colorado Social Security disability benefits. To apply, call the Social Security Administration at 800-772-1213 or visit www.socialsecurity.gov/applyfordisability/. Many people complete the initial application for disability benefits on their own, and so can you, but you don’t have to. The Social Security regulations allow for a third-party to complete the application for you. Some Denver disability attorneys won’t do this, but we will. We will review your medical records, evaluate your case, and make sure your paperwork (or your online application) is complete.

Has your claim for Social Security disability benefits been denied?
If your initial application for Social Security disability benefits was denied, do not be discouraged. Most initial applications for Social Security disability benefits in Colorado and throughout the country are denied. However, more than half of the Social Security disability applicants who pursue their claim to a hearing before an administrative law judge are awarded benefits. The Denver disability lawyers at Radosevich & Dixon have extensive experience representing Social Security disability claimants in administrative hearings and in subsequent federal court appeals, when necessary. We won’t give up on your case until you have received the benefits you deserve or we have exhausted all reasonable appeals.
