Texas Social Security Disability Lawyer
There are two programs offered by the United States government that provide assistance to disabled workers. Social Security Disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). These programs assist workers who are no longer able to work due to a permanent physical or mental condition that prevents the person from working.
The safety net provided by these programs can be a godsend to people who have no other source of income, but it is complicated to obtain. Statistics show that persons who are represented have a better chance at getting approved than persons who are not represented.

When you submit an application for Social Security Disability benefits, there is a five step process in evaluating whether you are disabled. There are many factors that go into this five step review process. Some of the factors include:
- Do you have a serious medical condition that is demonstrated by medical evidence?
- Are you working now? If so, is the work you are doing considered Substantial Gainful Activity?
- Do you have the ability to do other, less strenuous work?
- If you have the ability to do less strenuous work, do you have skills that transfer based upon your education or work history?
- If you can do less strenuous work, are there jobs that exist that will accommodate your limitations
