Attention Claimants age 50 and older you have special rights!
In my practice many of my clients applying for Social Security disability are over the age of 50 and have worked very hard their entire life. Unfortunately because of a serious medical condition or due to a combination of medical conditions they can no longer do their job. Surprisingly, when it comes time to applying for Social Security disability benefits, many of these same people are turned down.
Did you know the Social Security Administration has special rules for claimants age 50 or older? Statistics indicate that an experienced Social Security attorney can argue these rules to help win YOUR disability case. In my experience we frequently obtain an on the record decision when a claimant is over 50, and is unable to perform the type of work he or she has done in the past.

Under Social Security rule, if you between 50 to 54 years old, and are limited to unskilled sedentary work, it is presumed you are unable to transition to other work given your age and restrictions. This is an enormous advantage when filing a claim! The same person age 48 may lose their disability claim at age 48, but can often win it at age 50.
The rules get even better at age 55. Any claimant limited to unskilled light exertional work is presumed to be unable to transition to other work. Our office uses these rules to successfully obtain benefits for claimants. Having a skilled attorney though prevents vocational experts hired by the government to improperly categorize your work history. It is very important to have an experienced attorney to argue these rules!
If you have been turned down for benefits and are now approaching 50 years of age or older YOU CAN REAPPLY TODAY. You are NOT precluded from reapplying for Social Security benefits after a denial.
