Denied Disability Payments

In 2005, SSA paid roughly $557 billion to more than 52 million people. If 52 million people were approved for disability payment, and you believe you are eligible as well, then you deserve not to be turned down. When your application is being reviewed, each and every regulation is looked over and they will try to find any possible way to deny your application. This hardly seems fair at all when there are people out there with the exact same condition you have and yet they were approved... More>>

People with disabilities, or individuals who obtain a disability while working, deserve special care and treatment. It is a direct violation of American principles and laws to discriminate against people with disabilities. Due to this kind of discrimination, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed in 1990 to prohibit the discrimination of the disabled in employment, housing, education, and access to public services. The ADA legislature gives civil rights protection to people with disabilities similar to those rights provided to individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion.

The Americans with Disabilities Act categorizes a disability as any of the following:

  • A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities of the individual.
  • A record of such physical or mental impairment.
  • Being regarded as having such an impairment.

There are also several different forms of discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities prohibited by the ADA, including:

  • Employment Discrimination
  • Housing Discrimination
  • Access to Public Transportation
  • Access to Public Accommodations
  • Discrimination by Relation or Association

A disability may also be obtained in the form of a personal injury while working. A disability lawyer can help you if you have suffered an injury that has resulted in a disability. If you or anyone you know has been afflicted by a work-related disability, you may be able to collect compensation from Social Security. Social Security Disability Benefits are mainly awarded to individuals who have a physical or mental health problem severe enough to keep you from working.

While this practice has been reduced, it is still occurring. If you or someone you know has been denied disability, consult with a disability lawyer to find out your legal options.
