Utah Mental Disability Claims Lawyer
Depression is a serious mental condition that affects millions of people in the United States. Depression can cause fatigue, lack of appetite, loss of motivation, personality changes and can make it nearly impossible for an individual to function normally. If depression is affecting you or someone you love's ability to perform his or her job duties, you may be entitled to Social Security disability (SSD) benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
At Matt Nielson Law Offices, P.C., we understand what you are going through, and will work with you and your counselor, therapist or physician to help you file for SSD. Call 801-790-4936, toll free at 866-489-9320 or contact us online to schedule your free initial consultation today with a Salt Lake City depression attorney.
Gathering the Right Information
Even if a therapist has diagnosed you with severe depression, much more information needs to be collected and presented to the Social Security Administration when filing for SSD. The legal team at Matt Nielson Law Offices, P.C. spends a lot of time talking with disabled individuals, their families, and people who work with them regarding how their mental disability affects their daily activities. We will also provide clients with specialized forms to give their therapists and physicians, in order to accurately depict the severity and longevity of the depression.
This information is important at the initial application stage, but also for your record on appeal if your claim is initially denied (as most claims are). Having a compassionate, experienced and knowledgeable social security advocate on your side from the very beginning will increase your likelihood of success on your claim, and will help you have peace of mind for the future.
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.
