It’s a crucial insurance benefit for you and your family that could help you pay for daily expenses and enables you to get medical treatment for your injury.
When you apply, there’s a specific procedure you need to follow and deadlines you can’t miss. Our Florence social security disability lawyers understand the regulations issued by the SSA and how to pursue claims effectively.
