Benefits for Disabling Mental Conditions
If you suffer from a mental disability or if you have developed a mental condition that is related to a physical disability, you may be able to obtain Social Security Disability benefits.
A Disability Law Firm With an 80 Percent Success Rate
The attorneys of Burnett & Driskill help clients with mental disabilities obtain all the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits they are entitled to receive.
We have won benefits for clients suffering from a wide range of mental illnesses, including:
- Depression
- Bipolar disorder (manic depression)
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Intellectual disability/mental retardation (IQ under 60)
- Schizophrenia
- Paranoia
- Obsessive compulsive disorder
- Anxiety-related disorders
- Autism and other Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDDs)
There are specific criteria that must be met in order for a mental disability claim to be successful. Our lawyers understand these criteria. We will review your case and determine whether you have a valid mental disability claim.
A Combination of Conditions
Even if your mental disability does not meet the Social Security Administration's definition of disability on its own, you still may be able to obtain benefits. You can become disabled by a combination of mental and physical impairments. Our disability lawyers will make sure that you are evaluated for all conditions that contribute to your disability.
We understand that depression is one of the most common side effects of a serious physical disability.
