Information may not be reliable

Social Security Disability: Benefits under the Act explained. Information about claims for disabilities before the Social Security Administration.
I am an attorney working in North Carolina and South Carolina, but this site provides a forum that answers questions about disability laws for disabled people without lawyers, in whatever state they live.
This site is a fairly complete source of information for the disabled about Social Security Disability, Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, and the Social Security Administration's related programs.
We have information on Worker's Compensation, but only as that law applies in South Carolina. Most disability law, including Social Security Disability and SSI, is he same all over the country, but Worker's Compensation law varies from state to state.
We also provide limited information on financial survival, long term disability insurance, and medical assistance while you wait for benefits to start. This site will be some help to anyone who has any sort of disability problem.
I am Paul McChesney. I have been handling Social Security disability claims, Supplemental Security Income, or SSI claims, and long term disability, or LTD claims, for people living in North and South Carolina, and worker's compensation claims in South Carolina, since 1979, and am Social Security Disability Board Certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. Since I have been practicing law, my clients and I have together been searching for the best answers we could find to questions that are important to the disabled. On this website, I have shared what we have found. I have tried to give simple, straightforward answers or to tell plainly where the answer is not clear.
Here are the ways to find those answers using this site:

If your question is not well answered after all that, or if you want to see what others might say, go to our Social Security Disability Links, and look around the web for what others say. But if you do this, there is a charge! You must return and post anything you find on the forum. Don't forget!

I hope this website makes a difference in your life; if it does please stop a minute and think what you can contribute:
