Disabilities affect all types of people covered under the Social Security Act.  Our clients come from various backgrounds, socio-economic groups, races, religions, genders, ages, education levels, work experience, and so forth.  The bottom line is that if you or someone you know has a condition or conditions that keep them from working for at least one full year, they may be entitled to Social Security Disability and/or Supplemental Security Income benefits.  You can apply for different types of benefits, regardless of your situation.  We will help you navigate through the Social Security system to determine what benefits may be available to you.  Here are a few examples of claimants we have assisted in the past:

• 25 year old female, on a kidney transplant waiting list, and worked as a sales representative.  She was denied due to her young age.  She would not be able to get a new kidney until she received Medicare.  Audrey Faust recovered monthly disability checks, a retroactive lump sum of money over $15k, and Medicare benefits for this individual.  She finally received her new kidney.

• 55 year old psychiatrist with severe neurological disorders.  Because of his high level of education and past relevant work, he was initially denied.  Attorney Faust requested an on the record Decision from the Chief Judge and recovered monthly monetary benefits, retroactive benefits, and Medicare for this individual.

• 57 year old Veteran with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.  He was denied because his condition was not properly documented by his doctor.  After getting in to see the proper doctors familiar with the disability process, Attorney Faust was able to obtain monetary and medical benefits for this gentleman.

• 40 year old engineer who struck his head and suffered substantial brain injuries and impairments.  Again, he was denied because the SSA assume he would be able to perform a simple job that only required repetitive tasks.  Attorney Faust was able to provide through his medical evidence that even sedentary, unskilled work would be an aggravating factor to his condition.  Thus, Ms. Faust secured retroactive monetary benefits, monthly monetary benefits, and Medicare for this individual.

• 33 year old mother of two, worked as a nurse, and then diagnosed with advanced HIV and sensory loss.  She was living out of her car when she presented to Ms. Faust's office.  After numerous letters and documentation sent to the SSA, she finally received a hearing.  Attorney Faust was able to secure her SSDI and SSI benefits, along with Medicare and Medicaid.
