Know Your Options When A Disability Keeps You From Working
Physical work asks a lot from a person’s body. Disabilities can cause a person who works in a physically intensive job to no longer be able to work. This can be a terrifying thing, particularly if your individual situation makes retraining for a new type of job unfeasible.
If you can’t work because of a disability, you may be able to pursue Social Security Disability Insurance benefits or Supplemental Security Income benefits. However, the complexity of SSDI and SSI rules can make understanding what options and rights one has when applying for such benefits challenging. Our Minnesota firm, Christianson Law, can assist individuals with overcoming these challenges. We are very experienced in Social Security Disability law. We provide SSDI and SSI claims guidance and representation to people in Minneapolis, in St. Paul and throughout the surrounding region.

In all stages of a disability claim, being properly prepared is vital. This includes being prepared when it comes to evidence, such as medical and employment records.
