Pittsburgh PTSD Attorney

Work With A Pennsylvania SSDI Guidelines Lawyer

The Social Security Administration (SSA) recognizes that military personnel returning from tours of duty in war zones often suffer prolonged and serious emotional disabilities brought about by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The condition can impair the sufferer’s ability to receive sufficient training to learn a job skill or work in a typical employment setting. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with PTSD and cannot hold a job or earn a living, talk to an attorney at Dallas W. Hartman, P.C., with offices in New Castle, Hermitage, Butler and Erie, Pennsylvania, to discuss filing an initial claim or filing an appeal for a denied claim for SSDI benefits.

Tough Criteria for Emotional and Mental Disabilities

When you file a claim for PTSD, bipolar disorder or other severe mental illness, your claim will be reviewed by the Social Security Disability Determination Services in your state. You will be required to show written documentation by a medical professional that your disability prohibits you from earning a living. The process is often prolonged, confusing and frustrating. Our firm will handle everything for you, from gathering the required records and medical history to presenting your story before the decision-makers. If your PTSD claim is denied, we will pursue an appeal by requesting a hearing for reconsideration at your local SSA office. We do not stop fighting for you until every legal option has been pursued to help you get the money benefits you need and deserve.

We represent clients who are seeking SSDI benefits for mental illness and physical diseases, such as:

PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder, mental disabilities
Bipolar depression
Fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome
Autoimmune diseases
Cancer
Multiple sclerosis
Heart condition

You Will Not Pay Lawyer Fees If You Do Not Collect Benefits
