If you are currently unable to work and earn a livable income due to a disability, you could very well be entitled to receive social security.
Although anyone can file for social security payments, the approval process isn’t always guaranteed. In fact, according to debt.org, the Social Security Administration rejects about 65% of all first-time applications.
It is assumed that many of those initially rejected will appeal. The appeal process includes four steps, the first being reconsideration. However, only around 10% of applicants are approved at the reconsideration level.

Compensation for Concussions
Through a concussion lawsuit, you may receive compensation for past and future medical treatment, rehab, surgery, medications, pain, and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and more.
To prove your concussion lawsuit, you’ll need medical records, testimony from a doctor, employment records, and a pain journal.
What’s a pain journal? Record your daily symptoms and show how the concussion affected your life.
