Practice Areas Description
The law firm of Richard Sly has provided legal services in the areas of Supplemental Security Income, Social Security disability and long-term disability litigation for over 30 years. Our areas of practice include:- Disability Insurance Benefits
Disability monthly income benefits are available through both the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program and/or through the Social Security Administration Disability Insurance Benefit (DIB or RSDI) program.
- Process and Case Advancement Delay
Oregon's Social Security Administration (SSA) program is infamous for delays, as covered in depth by local newspapers, including The Oregonian. We can work with Social Security screeners to avoid delays and gain quick payment of benefits.
- Social Security Benefits Over 50 and Under 18
Social Security benefits criteria relax significantly for people over 50 and, for children under 18 years old, criteria is not limited to work-related limitations. Instead, minor children can be eligible for benefits based on socialization challenges. We are skilled in obtaining benefits for both age ranges.
- Social Security Benefits
Congress has mandated that Americans receive disability payments when they become disabled. We can help you receive the payment you need when you can no longer work.
- Qualifying Mental and Psychological Disorders
While people most often associate the word "disability" with physical ailments, a wide range of mental, emotional and psychological disorders can also qualify the sufferer for Social Security benefits.
- Physical Disorders
The Social Security Administration decides which claims qualify for benefits primarily on the basis of whether a medical condition prevents an individual from working. There are, however, medical conditions that can commonly lead to the granting of benefits.
- Social Security Appeals
Sixty-five percent of all Social Security benefits applications are denied. It is therefore essential that your Social Security disability law attorney be skilled and experienced in appealing your case. We have appealed thousands of Social Security cases since 1963.
- Long-Term Disability
If you are considering filing or appealing a Social Security Disability Insurance Benefit (SSD, DIB, RSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claim, we can help. We can negotiate and litigate your case when you are disabled and benefit payments are not paid.
