Qualifying Mental Disability

Salt Lake City SSD and Mental Health Disability Attorney

While often harder to prove than a physical disability, a mental health disability can qualify for Social Security Disability (SSD). My law office of Randy M. Lish, Attorney at Law, in Provo, Utah may be able to help you secure the benefits you deserve.

Meeting the Standards but Still Being Denied

Far too often, applications for Social Security Disability involving mental health disabilities or physical limitations that prevent people from working and meet all of the established standards are still denied. Some people give up, assuming that verdict is final. However, what many people with these conditions do not know could cost them a great deal of money. That is where my experience and knowledge come into play.

Challenges in Proving Your Mental Health Disability

At Randy M. Lish, Attorney at Law, I recognize the need to meet certain medical determinability criteria when it comes to a mental health disability. Essentially, we must show a qualifying mental health disorder that causes you to be disabled. These can include depression, schizophrenia or a bipolar disorder, for example. I recognize the challenges you face, considering that your injury cannot be documented by X-rays or other physical tests that are easy to quantify, and the effects on your life and potential are equally difficult to predict. However, those are challenges that I am more than willing to overcome on your behalf.

Verifying an Inability to Work Because of a Mental Health Disability

Mental health disabilities and disorders not only often go undiagnosed, but are also frequently misdiagnosed. With that in mind, I team up with an experienced and qualified medical examiner to confirm the diagnosis and show that the qualifying person cannot perform the most basic of functions in the workforce for 12 months or more.
