Social Security Disability

Hickman & Lowder represents physically and mentally disabled individuals in obtaining Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. Whether the case is at the initial or reconsideration level with the Bureau of Disability Determination in Columbus or at the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) level at the Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR) in Cleveland or Toledo, we strive to ensure that the decision-makers have all the relevant medical evidence and legal theory they need to support a grant of disability benefits. In appropriate cases, we request ‘on-the-record’ decisions to try to spare our clients the delay and stress of waiting for a hearing. When an ALJ’s decision denies a deserving claimant, we appeal to the Appeals Council and federal court if necessary.
