Lawyer Handling Claims for People Over Age 50

Pursuing Social Security Disability Benefits

When you are over 50 years old, a disability that prevents you from doing the work you've been engaging in for years can be particularly difficult. It can be challenging to retrain for a completely new career and obtain employment when you are competing against people in their twenties. You may still need income, but are too young to start collecting retirement benefits. In this situation, consult a skilled lawyer to determine if you are eligible for Social Security disability benefits.

My name is Jack W. Swan. At my office in North Charleston, South Carolina, I have been handling Social Security disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims for 29 years. I can advise you about your eligibility and, if you quality, file and pursue a disability claim.

Helping You Obtain Benefits

Fortunately, the Social Security Administration recognizes it can be tough for disabled older workers to find employment. It considers several factors in a claim, including:

• Age — The older you are, the more difficult it may be to change careers after suffering a serious disability.
• Education — If your education level is high school or below, you will generally be less likely to qualify for alternative jobs.
• Transferability of skills — If you have always done one type of work, such as manual labor, it can be especially difficult for you to obtain other positions.

If you are over the age of 50 and disabled, do not despair. I have had success in obtaining benefits for older clients. Often, people over 50 have a robust work history that can help boost their chances of getting their claim approved.

If your claim is denied, which a majority of claims are, I will help you appeal the decision. There is a much higher chance of success on a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. Rest assured I will be by your side throughout the claims process, working for your benefit.
