Social Security Attorneys in Norfolk, VA
When you go to work every day, you’re paying into the Social Security System. However, if you become disabled, you may not be able to earn a living wage.

This is why Social Security Disability benefits are made available, although it can be difficult to obtain them.

What are Disability Benefits?
Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits are federal funds that are distributed to individuals who cannot work due to a disability. SSD benefits include Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
Obtaining these benefits makes it possible to lead a healthier, happier life. Our compassionate legal professionals are qualified to represent clients through every step of the SSI or SSDI process, including appeals.

Why Hire A Disability Attorney
Applying for Social Security Disability is a notoriously long and complicated process, which results in most initial disability claims being denied. However, with a dedicated attorney on your side, you are more likely to be approved when you first apply for benefits.
Filing for either SSDI or SSI can be a daunting process. At O’Neil and Bowman Disability Group, our experience allows us to guide you through the many steps that come before you can receive payments.
The SSA has strict requirements for proving disability that all applicants must adhere to. If an application fails to meet even a single requirement, the SSA will deny the claim. With our help, you can rest assured that your application will include all of the information necessary to give you the best chances of receiving the aid you deserve.
