Burke County is home to abundant natural resources, beautiful parklands like Lake James State Park, and a thriving manufacturing sector. Many people work in dangerous industries, and accidents often leave workers disabled. It is also possible for disabling conditions to manifest over years of hard work. A Burke County Social Security Disability lawyer is an invaluable asset for helping you claim Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) if this applies to you.

The Law Office of Lyndon R. Helton, PLLC, has been helping clients in Burke, Caldwell, and Catawba counties and throughout North Carolina with their Social Security Disability cases for years, and we are ready to apply this experience to your case. Our goal is to help you approach this difficult situation with confidence and secure the benefits you need when you are disabled and can no longer work.
Whether you are planning to file for SSDI for the first time or you have already filed your claim and it has been denied, you need to hire a Social Security Disability lawyer you trust to take the next step with your case. Our firm can carefully review your records and the details of your case to ensure you meet the eligibility requirements for SSDI, and we can also help with re-filing or appealing a denied claim.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) rejects nearly 67% of all first-time applications for SSDI for various reasons. The claim could contain paperwork errors, or the claimant may have forgotten to submit required documentation. It is also possible that the SSA may determine that the claimant does not have a qualifying condition or that their condition does not prevent them from engaging in gainful activity.
The SSA maintains a list of all medical conditions that qualify as disabilities, and the claimant must be unable to work for a period of at least 12 months before they can qualify for SSDI. It is also possible for a claimant who receives other benefits, like workers’ compensation, or who is able to work in a limited capacity, to be disqualified because they earn too much per month to receive SSDI.
Filing a claim for SSDI can be incredibly difficult and frustrating if you do not hire a Social Security Disability lawyer to represent you. A skilled Burke County Social Security Disability attorney in Burke County can help you file your claim with complete information, lowering the risk of your claim being denied. However, if your claim is still denied, your attorney can help you re-file it or appeal the decision.
The Law Office of Lyndon R. Helton, PLLC, takes time to learn as much as possible about every client we represent. We understand the struggles and frustrations that many disabled individuals have with their SSDI claims, and we are confident we can help you get the benefits you need to manage your disability.
