How Our Detroit Disability Lawyers Are Different

When we say, “every step of the way,” we mean it.

Most disability attorneys don’t want to help when you first apply for benefits. They tell you to file the application yourself and call them back when you’re denied.

That’s not how we work. Our disability attorneys in Detroit help from the first step—all the way to a federal court appeal if needed.

Putting together an application takes time and effort: Preparing medical records and job records, then filling out lengthy forms. Getting it right can make all the difference to your case.

Helping you get this right is what the Michigan disability lawyer team at Levine Benjamin does. We work to maximize your chances of winning benefits from the very beginning.

Using this approach, we’ve helped more than 80,000 people win benefits.

We help with both Social Security Disability and private long-term disability insurance claims. Our disability attorneys are here to help Detroiters and Michiganders find financial reinforcements to get them through a hard time.

Which Disability Benefits Do You Need?

When you’re sick, can’t work, and staring at mounting bills, you deserve every form of help available to you. Our disability attorneys in Detroit help with…

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) for people with qualifying work records
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for people with limited financial means
Long-term disability insurance claims when you have coverage from a private insurance company through a job or individually
Choosing Medicare Advantage plans, which you can get prior to retirement age with SSDI

The Levine Benjamin Detroit, Michigan, disability attorneys look for every type of disability benefit or medical help that you may qualify for.

We know this isn’t just about money—It’s about winning back your independence.

You can start by getting a free evaluation of your situation.

Types of Benefits

Almost any medical condition can give you a strong claim for disability benefits if it’s severe enough that you can’t work.

Your impairment could come from diseases, injuries, strain on your body over time, mental health problems and more.

Social Security specifically lists many qualifying illnesses, and it spells out the types of medical evidence you should provide to win benefits with each one.

But even without those exact impairments—or if you have a combination of different impairments—you can still win benefits.

You do that by showing Social Security that the activities you can handle day to day are limited by your ailments. Social Security has a formal name for that: “residual functional capacity (RFC)”

Your residual functional capacity is a measure of how much you can do physically and mentally.

You want to work with an experienced disability lawyer in Michigan who knows how you can meet all the technicalities of applying for disability benefits. You’ve probably never dealt with this process before. The Detroit disability lawyers at Levine Benjamin have done this thousands of times.

Having health problems and needing disability benefits is a highly personal situation. But don’t shy away from the benefits you’re entitled to receive—that can make your life easier—when you can’t work.

WHY GET A SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY ATTORNEY?

It’s possible to apply for Social Security Disability benefits on your own, but it can turn into a grinding chore—it’s a lot of work at a time when you can’t work.

And most people get denied for disability benefits anyway.

Your Social Security Disability attorney takes on the legwork for you. And you don’t have to pay anything up front: WE DON’T CHARGE AN ATTORNEY FEE UNTIL YOU WIN.

With a Levine Benjamin, you get:

A Detroit disability lawyer who knows what you need to get disability benefits and what you don’t.
A Detroit disability lawyer who knows how to factor your age into your disability application.
A Detroit disability lawyer who stands by you in front of a disability judge when you need to appeal a denial.

Along the way, our experienced legal team can help you collect records of your medical treatment, get information from your doctor, organize your job history, make sure your forms are filled out correctly, and keep you on top of important deadlines.

Maybe most important of all, our disability lawyers can provide personal care to you in a process that often feels cold.

We understand that your energy and ease of getting around may be limited, so we make sure it’s easy to work with us from home. If coming to our Southfield office is difficult, we can handle the needs of your disability claim by internet, phone and mail.

In fact, you can get disability claim representation from Levine Benjamin all over America.

Detroiters don’t get lost in the system when they work with us. We’re the ones who make sure your needs get top priority.

It never costs you anything to call us and tell us about your situation, so we can see what kind of claim you have.

KEEPING YOUR CASE MOVING DURING THE CORONAVIRUS

“From the beginning…to the end, I was given attention and understanding. When the time finally came for court, COVID-19, aka the coronavirus, hit us, and (we) ended up having to do a telephone hearing. Claire (the attorney) never wavered. Thank you again for…winning my case. I feel validated and heard.”
