House Passes Bill To Address Social Security Disability Hearing Backlog

This Could Help

Though this may never become law, a bill just passed through the US House of Representatives that would give Social Security more money to deal with the delay in giving Social Security disability applicants hearings. The bill includes three hundred million more dollars for Social Security. Of that, fifty million would go to try to get Social Security disability hearings scheduled sooner.

Onto The Senate

The bill moves onto the US Senate. The Republicans who control that chamber have never shown any interest in helping the disabled. Nor are they inclined to increase the budgets of any government agency that is not involved in making war. Thus, this bill is probably headed for the scrap heap. Still, it’s nice to know that at least one body of Congress is trying to help Social Security disability applicants.

About The Author

Since 1992, I have been helping the people of Southern Arizona get the benefits they are due. Before devoting all my efforts to assisting people with Social Security disability claims, I also handled such complex lawsuits as medical malpractice and products liability. I brought to my Social Security cases all the skills and attention to detail that I developed in the courtroom. I approach each Social Security disability case as if it were a million-dollar lawsuit. For the people trying to get Social Security benefits, their claim is every bit as important. Because I have personally handled so many Social Security cases, I have refined the skills I need to win your case for you. I have helped people win cases for every kind of ailment from arthritis to valley fever. At present, I am focused on helping those persons with neurological and orthopedic disorders. Because claims for people over age fifty bring additional complications, I particularly seek out those cases to work on. I regularly write about back and spine conditions on my blog. I actively seek out the latest information about orthopedic and neurological disorders to ensure I can represent my clients as effectively as possible. Because of my current focus, I regret that I am not able to take any cases for mental disorders. If you are over age fifty and suffer from any orthopedic or neurological disorder, please contact me at once.
