Twenty Years Trial Experience

Social Security Disability Denial • Administrative Law Review

The Social Security Disability lawyers at the law offices of Kidwell, South & Beasley provide assistance and representation for people who are no longer able to work as before as a result of illness or injury. Individuals who have received denial letters from Social Security after applying for disability benefits are welcome to contact us.

We serve clients from throughout middle Tennessee and Rutherford County, including the cities of Murfreesboro and Nashville.

While Social Security Disability is a federal program, states including Tennessee are responsible for handling the reconsideration process. Attorneys at the Nashville and Murfreesboro law firm of Kidwell, South & Beasley handle appeals of application denials on behalf of people whose illnesses and injuries prevent them from earning a living as they once did.

Many times, in an initial application, medical records do not clearly demonstrate the existence of a visible debilitating disability (such as late-stage cancer), and benefits are denied. An experienced Social Security Disability attorney is well versed in methods of documenting functional limitations which are less obvious (such as chronic fatigue syndrome). 

Social Security lawyers of Kidwell, South & Beasley look into all aspects of a Social Security Disability denial in pursuit of key facts such as the following:

• Is the worker's physical limitation related to a personal injury or a Workers' Compensation case? If so, how might efforts to document disability be coordinated to make a successful claim more likely?
• Has a worker accumulated enough credits (4 per year for 10 years or more) to qualify for SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) benefits?
• Is the worker's income such that an SSI (Supplemental Security Income) application might be more appropriate, and more likely to provide the benefits desired?

The Social Security Disability attorneys of Kidwell, South & Beasley welcome inquiries from workers whose illnesses or injury is likely to prevent them from working for at least 12 months. We will willingly evaluate a denial of benefits letter and advise you of your options when you contact us about a SSDI benefits denial.
