At Cervoni Disability Law, we help clients navigate these options and make informed decisions about their benefits.

Navigating the world of disability claims can be daunting, but understanding the importance of strong medical evidence can be a game-changer. Medical evidence is the backbone of any disability claim, and its strength can significantly influence the outcome. But what exactly constitutes strong medical evidence, and how can it bolster your claim?

Navigating the Social Security Disability system can be overwhelming, but once healthcare coverage enters the picture, things can get even more confusing.

If your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claim was denied, you’re not alone—and you’re not out of options. Many initial disability claims are denied. But that doesn’t mean your case is over. With the right approach, many applicants succeed during the appeals process. Here's what you need to know.

The Challenge of Mental Health Stigma in Disability Claims

When it comes to applying for disability benefits, mental health conditions are often met with skepticism. Unlike physical disabilities, mental health challenges are invisible, making it harder for applicants to prove the extent of their condition. Many individuals hesitate to apply due to the fear of judgment or disbelief from others, even though mental illnesses like depression, PTSD, and anxiety can be just as debilitating as physical impairments. Overcoming this stigma is essential to securing the benefits you deserve.
