1. Develop a winning theory for your claim. The most important task for a lawyer is to develop a winning theory for your claim. This should be done as early as possible in the claim process. Based upon your impairments, work history, age, education, and the Social Security disability evaluation process, we will seek the legal path that leads to an award of benefits.
The Social Security disability claim process in Maine may require several stages. The first stage is the review of your initial application. You can file an initial application for benefits online, or at a Social Security local "field" office. There are nine local Social Security offices in Maine, located in Saco, Portland, Auburn, Augusta, Rockland, Bangor, Waterville, Rumford and Presque Isle.
For New Hampshire residents, a disability or SSI claim can be a two stage process. The Law Office of Gordon Gates can help you at each stage of this process. My New Hampshire office is located at 83 Hanover Street in downtown Manchester, just across the street from the Palace Theatre. Ask for a free Social Security claim evaluation.
Many people applying for Social Security disability are over the age of 50, and have worked hard during their entire adult life. But now, due to a medical condition, they can't do their job any longer, and have been unable to find other work. Many of these workers are denied benefits when they apply for disability, despite a lifetime of paying into the Social Security system.
