Social Security Disability

Legal Guidance for Social Security Disability Matters

A lifetime of hard work can take a toll on your body. People in South Carolina, especially in areas with a great deal of industry, often find themselves eligible for Social Security disability. They face high blood pressure, diabetes and chronic pain.

Getting the benefits you deserve can be complex. At Patrick E. Knie Law Offices, I recommend that you seek a lawyer's help from the very beginning. Often, people attempt to put their Social Security disability application together themselves. The result? Mistakes that can lead to serious delay or denial of an application.

At the Patrick E. Knie Law Offices in Spartanburg, South Carolina, I have handled the Social Security disability cases of numerous people from all walks of life. I also have handled Social Security benefits for children with disabilities, both with learning disabilities or physical problems that require extra care.

Types of Social Security Disability

There are two basic types of Social Security disability in South Carolina. The one most people think of as regular disability is called "Title II." People are eligible for these benefits if they have worked enough quarters throughout their lifetimes.

Injured or disabled people may also be eligible for SSI, or supplemental security income. SSI is intended for someone who is disabled, but who hasn't worked or hasn't worked enough to qualify for SSI.
