Social Security Disability Law in St. Louis, MO

"Will I be approved for Social Security disability benefits?"

This is the question we hear the most often here at Jeffrey Bunten Attorney at Law.

While we have been helping people throughout St. Louis, MO, for over 25 years, the fact of the matter is that it is hard to know the answer to that question without much more information. It is not easy to predict how the Social Security Administration will rule unless you have an extreme loss of function or a terminal condition, as they often judge other types of disabilities quite differently.

This is because to qualify for benefits, you must meet their unique definition of the term "disabled". The most important aspect of their definition is your ability to work. If you can't do your normal job because of an illness or injury, you are usually eligible.

But if you can technically still do the job, even with great difficulty, it may be harder to secure benefits. Our team will navigate these murky waters to get you the compensation you deserve. Call (314) 384-4044 to schedule an appointment.
