The Trouble with Filing for Social Security Disability (SSD)

Filing for Social Security Disability (SSD) is a long complicated process.  When you are injured or ill sorting through piles of paperwork and gathering evidence that supports your disability claim can be next to impossible.  Even if you manage to fill out the proper forms and get all supporting documents in order your claim will most likely be denied.

According to the Social Security Administration 75% of initial applications are denied.  The appeal process is long and involved.  Your wait may not be months, but years.  As you wait, unable to work and falling deeper into financial and emotional despair, is there any thing you can do?  Yes. 


Fighting for the Disabled in South Carolina
If you live in Horry County, Conway,  Myrtle Beach or anywhere on the South Carolina coast your personal Social Security Disability attorney is Mr. Dirk Derrick.  For over 10 years Mr. Derrick has been fighting for the rights of the disabled.  Mr. Derrick takes on a limited number of cases, ensuring that you get the attention you deserve.  Communication is vital during the appeal process and Mr. Derrick will personally contact you to be sure that you know what is happening with your case.


Qualifying for Social Security Disability Benefits
In order to qualify for Social Security Disability benefits you must be able to prove that your disability or illness does not allow you to work at any job.  It must also be proved that your injury or illness is expected to affect you for at least one year or result in your death.  Though these are narrow parameters it is possible to apply for and be awarded Social Security Disability benefits.  If your application has been denied only an experienced lawyer can help you properly prepare for the appeals process.


Personal Service is Key
If you were going into surgery you would want your surgeon, not the surgeon's assistant or nurse, to perform your surgery.  The same can be applied to a law firm.  Your case will not be handed over to a paralegal or a member of the office staff but will be guided by Mr. Derrick himself.

If you need help filling out your initial Social Security Disability claim or need help fighting for an appeal, please contact The Derrick Law Firm today for your free consultation. 



Though The Derrick Law Firm is located in Conway, SC cases are accepted throughout South Carolina and the Grand Strand area.  Mr. Derrick serves clients in: Florence, Marion, Pawley's Island, Murrells Inlet, Cherry Grove Beach, Little River, Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach and Garden City.
