Qualifying SSDI Disabilities

Physical or Mental Disability Claims

To receive Social Security disability benefits, your condition must be on the list of qualifying SSDI disabilities. Attorney Lance Mallon, of Mallon & Hale, Ltd., has over thirty-five years of combined experience in helping people prove that they meet the criteria to get the financial help they need and deserve.

Our knowledgeable lawyers have handled every type of claim, including physical impairments, mental health claims and dire illnesses. Our Wood River, Illinois, practice represents claimants in the greater St. Louis area, Southern Illinois and Eastern Missouri. Contact us today for a free case evaluation.

You do not have to have a physical injury from a workplace accident to qualify for benefits. If you are unable to work for at least 12 months because of any qualifying disability, you may be eligible for Social Security disability (SSDI).

Qualifying SSDI Disabilities

Our clients have been approved for a wide range of physical and psychological conditions, including, but not limited to:

Proving You Cannot Work

Certain diagnoses automatically qualify for disability benefits. For most conditions, you must demonstrate that the impairment prevents you from holding a job. We counsel clients on how to work with doctors so that all their ailments and limitations are documented in medical records. We also contact doctors directly to obtain specific information required to support your claim. From their years of experience, our attorneys know the questions to ask regarding a wide range of SSDI disabilities.

We have a high rate of success in appeals of denied claims — do not give up hope if you were turned down after submitting your own disability insurance claim.
