No lawyer is needed. Now the tough part. You have to fill out all of the forms. Dot every I, and cross every T. You are most likely talking about Social Security disability, and possibly disability from the company where you worked. The fact that you quit that job could affect that part. A lawyer would help there. Guess you are down to social security, maybe state disability too. See it gets complicated already. Once you figure that out, now you will need the forms, they must be filled out by you the doctors and possibly you supervisor where you worked. Alkways make and save copies of any paper work. Once you put all of the packages together you can submit them, certified mail helps. Now you can wait months or almost years. Six to nine months is not unusual, and many times longer. You may be denied, you can always appeal. This is a tough nut even if you are thorough. If a lawyer will do all of this for a resonable price it may be worth it. He or she will know what will put you over the top. They work with many doctors and can send you to another to cement your claim. I think most don t charge unless you are successful. I m not a lawyer, but had a family member go through this. Good Luck!
BAD BAD ADVICE, Of course a Lawyer is needed even the Judge will tell you that wityhout one they will deny you the first time as they always do. and even if you win w/o one the SSA can appeal and win. Trust me on that I have been there. Report Abuse
Start search at the beginning. A social worker can help you fill out papers. Your mental health/psychiatrist will verify your conditions. You must sign Release of Information papers. for them to contact Social Security, who will be one resource that will give you disability benefits. This may not be within a lawyer s understanding
