Ohio Disability Lawyer
A major health crisis is so much more than being sick. It upends every part of your life.
Beyond the physical pain and daily struggles, now you’re worried about mounting medical bills and stress on your family, especially when your condition doesn’t let you work.
Take a deep breath. You have options. Social Security Disability benefits are built to support you in just such a time of need. There’s a reason it’s called a “safety net.”
In Ohio, more than 300,000 people get Social Security Disability to manage their health care costs and the expenses of everyday life. But getting those benefits is not easy. Social Security is a bureaucracy with complicated rules and mountains of paperwork. One mistake or a missing document can quickly derail your application.
More than two out of every three applications are denied in Ohio.
Most Ohioans, like all Americans, don’t know what they don’t know when it comes to Social Security Disability, and so it can be hard to secure benefits on your own.

Getting Social Security Disability in Ohio
Winning Social Security Disability benefits is complicated, but the process generally follows these basic steps:
- Determining eligibility: You first must meet Social Security’s definition of “disabled.” It’s tricky because it’s not just about having an illness or condition. It’s about whether you can work. Under Social Security’s rules, you can’t be able to handle certain tasks or earn more than a certain amount to get benefits. If you can, they’ll say you’re capable of “substantial gainful activity” and deny your benefits.
- Applying: You’ll need to collect your medical records, and your work history documents such as pay stubs and time sheets. You’ll need to answer many questions on forms. They’ll want to see how your condition and your ability to do your job have changed.
- Appealing: Because more applications are denied than approved, be ready for another round of paperwork and collecting documents to strengthen your case. There are several opportunities to overturn a denial, which a skilled Ohio disability lawyer can help you pursue.
