If you’ve developed a disability that is preventing you from working and earning a living wage, you may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits. If you want to apply, the friendly team at David W. Kapor & Associates in Cincinnati, OH, will help you complete the application in a timely fashion so you can continue providing for your family.

There are three main ways to apply for Social Security disability benefits in Ohio. You can complete an online application, call 1-800-772-1213, or visit your local Social Security office. To complete your application through one of these methods, you will need to gather specific information regarding your claim. In addition to your medical records and lab results, you need contact information for all doctors, nurses, caretakers, clinics, and hospitals that have treated your disability; the date of all doctor’s visits and the procedures performed at each one; your previous employers’ information for the past three years; information regarding the kind of work you have done for the past 15 years; and your most recent W-2 or federal tax return.

Fortunately, you do not have to gather all of this information on your own. A seasoned attorney can help you compile the documentation needed to complete your application. Some claims also benefit from witness testimony, and, if your lawyer thinks it will strengthen your case, he or she will arrange for it before submitting the application. Once you have applied for benefits, you can expect the Social Security Administration to take three to five months to process your information. If you receive a denial, your lawyer will help you request reconsideration or file an appeal.
