Wallace & Graham, P.A.

Each month, thousands of North Carolinians become disabled from working and apply for Social Security Disability (SSD) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.  Too often to their disadvantage, many of those applying for benefits do so without the assistance of an attorney.

The SSD and SSI Insurance Programs are funded by working men and women throughout their working lives.  These programs can provide them with financial support in the event of an injury or condition which prevents them from earning a livable income for twelve (12) months or longer prior to retirement.  Too often, however, the application and appeal process can be quite lengthy and frustrating.  An attorney can substantially lessen the burden on those who apply for benefits.

Hiring an attorney ensures that all the necessary paperwork will be filed and the appropriate medical records are submitted in a timely manner, making the process as stress-free as possible for you and your family.  Your attorney will also represent your interests before an Administrative Law Judge, should a hearing be necessary for the determination of your claim.

Finally, the attorney gets NO FEE unless you win.  If you are awarded benefits, the attorney’s fee is limited by Social Security Administration (SSA) regulations to be 25% of any “past-due benefits” – i.e., benefits owed to you dating to the original disability date – and is paid directly to the attorney from the SSA.  None of your “future benefits” will be owed to the attorney.
