Social Security Disability and Attorney Fees

There is often a big understanding about Legal Fees and Social Security Disability.

You can get the help of a Social Security Lawyer without paying any money up front.

The Federal Law allows you to hire a lawyer to help you with your case on a contingent fee basis. This means that you do not have to pay any money to the lawyer unless you win.

The fees are limited to 25% of back benefits or $6,000 whichever amount is less. There are never any fees on your monthly check.

Not bad, considering that if you get Social Security Disability benefits you will receive them for the rest of your life. This could easily mean benefits that result in several hundred thousand dollars over your lifetime.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

A belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I know it can be a tough time of year when you are dealing with insurance companies and injuries and the holidays.

But I found a nice collections of writings from the 19th Century English Pastor Charles Spurgeon. I like this brief excerpt: If He remembers even the sparrows, will He forget one of His children? “Cast your burden on the Lord and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved” (Psalm 55:22)

I know it is a tough time of year for those who are suffering through illness and disability and waiting for the government to do something.

But I found a nice book with a collection of writings from the 19th Century English Pastor Charles Spurgeon. I like this brief excerpt: If He remembers even the sparrows, will He forget one of His children? “Cast your burden on the Lord and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.” (Psalm 55:22)

Happy Thanksgiving!

A Blessed Thanksgiving to All.

I like this hymn by Johnson Ortman, Jr.

Count Your Many Blessings

When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
