Increasing Your Likelihood of Success
Because of the invisible nature of bipolar disorder, it is often difficult to paint an accurate picture of the severity and longevity of the disorder. In addition to this, bipolar disorder also includes other mental health concerns like depression or mania. These disabilities tend to get worse as the individual gets older, and may be compounded by alcohol or drug abuse problems. These issues can lead to the individual having a hard time getting along with coworkers and possibly getting fired from his or her positions.
While bipolar disorder can be treated with therapy, counseling and certain prescription medications, not every treatment is effective. If you or a loved one suffer from bipolar disorder or some other mental disability and are having trouble at work because of this, the legal team at Matt Nielson Law Offices, P.C. can help you gather the information from your physician and therapist to fill out the initial application for SSD or SSI. We will then be by your side if you need to appeal an initial denial and can represent you in a hearing before an administrative law judge. Having an experienced attorney by your side can increase your likelihood of a successful claim.
We are also a wealth of information regarding mental health resources in the community and for information on returning to work in a position suitable to the client's circumstances.
