Portland Social Security Disability Lawyer
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) passed in 1990 makes provision for the federal government to pay disabled citizens a maintenance income, so that they may live their life with independence and dignity. According to the Act, a disabled person is one who, due to some physical or mental affliction, is unable to earn a livelihood for a period of at least one year.
The recipients of the Social Security Disability Income are decided by the Social Security Administration offices at the state levels. Unfortunately, up to seventy per cent of disability claims filed get disapproved in the first round itself. Although this procedure is aimed at weeding out false and suspicious claims, many a time genuine cases also get rejected. That is why it may be a better option to engage the services of a Portland social service disability lawyer or advocate who is familiar with the procedures and the style of functioning of the administration, although hiring the services of an attorney or advocate is not mandatory.
