Our client was diagnosed with several serious mental health conditions, including schizoaffective disorder, PTSD, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and dependent personality disorder. They initially applied for Social Security Disability benefits on their own and contacted our office after being denied. We submitted their reconsideration appeal, which was also denied, and subsequently requested a hearing. More than two years after their initial application, we represented the client at their hearing, where they were awarded over $19,000 in back pay and ongoing monthly SSD benefits of more than $900.
