A Social Security Disability Lawyer Fighting For Your Benefits

Our North Carolina law firm will guide you through the SSD process

You can collect SSD benefits if…

you have been diagnosed with an illness or an injury that leaves you unable to work and that is expected to last at least a year – or to result in your death. As you struggle with your physical pain, you may also be very concerned about your loss of income. How are you going to manage financially, if you are unable to work?

You may be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. But the claims process can be lengthy and frustrating. That’s why it’s important to have an experienced North Carolina SSDI attorney on your side. Brent Adams & Associates has been handling Social Security disability claims for decades and can help you get the benefits you need and deserve.

A Social Security lawyer who knows how to fight for your legal rights

If you have worked and paid into the Social Security system, you can receive monthly cash payments as Social Security disability if you become disabled. Social Security disability is not a government handout and it is not welfare. Instead, it is a benefit that you have earned by paying into the Social Security system while you were working. You paid for this benefit out of your hard-earned paycheck and you deserve to receive monthly Social Security disability benefits now that you are disabled.

Your unique disability will be considered when you submit a North Carolina Social Security disability application. We have helped many people get fair Social Security disability benefits, including people who suffer from the following types of medical conditions:

Cancer
Heart conditions
Diabetes
Stroke
Epilepsy
Spinal cord injury
Traumatic brain injury
Other neurological disorders
Back pain
Muscle or joint disorders
Multiple sclerosis
Vision loss
Hearing loss
Respiratory disorders
Inflammatory bowel disease
Kidney disease
Hematological disorders
Skin disorders
Endocrine disorders
Bipolar disorder
Schizophrenia
Anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder
Other mental disorders
Immune system disorders

If you suffer from any of these medical conditions – or any other disability – then you will need to submit a complete Social Security disability application together with supporting medical documentation to show that you are unable to do the work that you did before you became disabled or any other kind of work. Once your claim is approved, you will receive monthly benefits based on the amount of your past wages, up to a maximum amount allowed by law.

It can be a difficult process – but we won’t back down

The wait for Social Security disability benefits in North Carolina can be many months long – even in the easiest of cases where eligibility is straightforward and the initial application for benefits is complete. It can be enough to make anyone want to throw up their hands and give up. We don’t blame any client for feeling that way. But we will not give up on your claim.

The truth is the majority of Social Security disability cases are not approved at the initial application stage. Instead, many Social Security disability applications are denied because preventable mistakes were made on the initial applications. This results in unnecessary delays in benefits and stressful appeals.

It is the goal of our North Carolina SSDI attorney and legal team to get your initial application approved the first time. However, if your application is denied then we will not hesitate to file an administrative appeal or to pursue your fair recovery in federal district court. There’s one thing we can promise you – we will guide you through the process every step of the way.

An experienced, Board Certified Social Security Disability lawyer

According to the North Carolina State Bar, there are fewer than 50 attorneys in the state who are Board Certified Specialists in Social Security Disability Law. Attorney Vance Jennings is one of them and the only one in Dunn. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to become board certified in any practice area.

Attorneys seeking this certification must spend an average of 600 hours a year for five straight years on Social Security disability cases. They must take 36 hours of continuing legal education classes and undergo extensive testing. There is also a peer review process – 10 lawyers or judges in good legal standing must vouch for the competence and qualifications of an attorney in Social Security disability cases.

Vance Jennings went through this rigorous process because he believes clients deserve the best representation we are able to offer. The great news for our clients is that this expertise does not cost extra. When you hire an SSD lawyer, the attorney’s fee is set by law, so you are free to get a highly qualified, experienced lawyer without paying more.
