If you are disabled and are unable to work, you may be eligible for benefits under two different governmental programs. If you qualify, you will receive monthly financial support. Each program has its own general requirements.

CONTACT USWhat Conditions Qualify for Disability?
-
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI):If you have been unable to work for at least 12 months due to a mental or physical disability, you can apply for benefits under SSDI. Although the requirements seem straightforward, the Social Security Administration has a reputation for denying many applications the first time they are submitted. There is an appeals process that a Los Angeles Social Security attorney can help you with and that often results in approval of the previously rejected claim.
-
Supplementary Social Security Income:To qualify for this benefit, you must also have been mentally or physically disabled for at least 12 months and expect to be disabled for at least another 12 months. There are rules that limit your eligibility if you make a certain amount of income or have too many assets.
Each case is unique. The evidence needed to support an application for benefits depends on the individual case and the nature of the disability. A Los Angeles Social Security disability lawyer or Kern County Social Security lawyer will help you pursue your claim.
Call the Law Offices of Edward J. Singer: A Disability Lawyer
Statistics show that applications for either SSDI or SSI are more likely to be approved when submitted by an attorney. In addition to knowing what documentation is required for claim approval, an attorney also knows how to prepare the case from the beginning so it will be ready for appeal if a claim is denied.
Attorney Edward Singer, a Los Angeles Social Security disability lawyer, has more than 23 years of experience working on behalf of clients who have been disabled and are seeking government benefits to which they are entitled. He will meet with you, analyze your case, and discuss with you how to proceed. He will:
- Review your medical records and discuss the nature of your disability.
- Discuss other factors that may interfere with your ability to work.
- Review your education and previous work experiences.
- Analyze how pain and prescription medications influence your ability to work.
- Review attempts you have made to work that were unsuccessful due to your disability.
- Contact vocational and medical experts as needed to support your case.

TESTIMONIALS
Top Worker’s Comp Lawyer for Injured Workers
As a peer of Ed Singer, I strongly endorse him. He really knows the worker’s comp law and procedure. I have seen him in action. He fights to get injured workers the best medical treatment and compensation for his clients.
If you’re injured on the job, Ed would be the first attorney I would recommend. I’ve referred cases to him in the past with positive results.

Workers Compensation
I contacted Mr. Singer thru AVVO message posting. I asked him if he could contact me back via email and he did the next day. He also allowed me to email him WC case-related documents before I talk to him on the phone. He also called me proactively from his end. When I called him after sending him emails first. He was very kind, professional, upfront and straight down to urgency business at hand.
He was also very supportive and understanding of my most complicated WC case and situations (another attorney previously indicated to me not able help me further due to complex nature of my case) and was willing to take more of his valuable time talking to me on the phone. Due to the complex nature of my case, he was also willing to meet with me at his office for further consultation.
Thank you, Mr. Singer, from bottom of my heart!
PS, Please also know Sergio of your office staff who contacted me back to schedule me a follow-up appointment with you was extremely kind and very friendly. Just talking to kind voices of Sergio and yourself on the phone, makes my visit so much easier with lesser pressure and stress.

He Handled my Case
Mr. Singer took the case of my case. He arranged for treatment and evaluations. He deposed the doctor on my case and got me a settlement with future medical care. I was happy what he did for me.

I TRUST HIM!!!
I’ve been with Mr. Singer since 2007….. This case has been drawn out due to my previous employers’ lack of accountability. I appreciate the fact that Ed has been consistent and continues to fight the fight for me to get what is right…. A lot of other Attorneys would have told me to give up and accept the measly settlement they have offered, believe me, I’ve been tempted because it’s been a long road of B.S. However, because he believes what they have done is wrong and discriminatory towards me, he continues to battle for me and my greater good without having received a red cent, and for that I am truly grateful! I appreciate that he is available to discuss things via telephone, or in the office, although sometimes it is a few weeks out, I understand. I have entrusted him to handle my case and I let him do his work, and know that I will be notified of any pertinent information. However, I am not one that needs to be updated daily on the status because I know my previous employer is dragging their feet on the whole thing, they are a government agency after all. Sooooo, thank you, Ed, for your continued support and determination regarding my case!!!

Terrific Lawyer!
Mr. Singer did an excellent job on my husband’s case. My husband got injured at work and we spoke to several lawyers who seemed to run their firms like a mill. We finally met with Ed. He met us on the weekend and I was amazed of his knowledge of not only workman’s compensation law, but also medical issues. He fought very hard for us. His staff of paralegals were also wonderful. I would recommend Ed.
