Attorney Tim Cuddigan has practiced disability law exclusively since 1994. In that time he has helped thousands of people throughout eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa obtain the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits they need.
Our law firm understands just how important it is that you receive the benefits you are entitled to. Therefore, we are dedicated to exploring every option under the law to help you recover these benefits. Contact an Omaha Social Security benefits attorney to discuss your specific options.
Social Security Disability: Areas of Focus
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits initial applications: Our lawyers can handle your initial application and work for rapid approval of your benefits claim. Attorney Tim Cuddigan has given presentations on this topic to other representatives.
Social Security Disability benefits denied: The Social Security Administration allows non-attorneys to assist in the advocacy of claims. If your claim has been denied, however, only attorneys can appeal your denied claim to federal court.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI): SSI exists to provide benefits to low income and asset individuals who have not "paid in" to the Social Security system. Lack of work history does not disqualify you from benefits upon proof of disabling injury or illness.
Qualifying mental disorders: Our law firm has represented many individuals who are unable to work due to serious mental illness, such as:
We have significant experience assisting individuals with bipolar disorder. Attorney Tim Cuddigan has given seminars and presentations on this topic. He is the president of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (Nebraska).
Qualifying physical disorders: We regularly assist people with serious physical problems, such as:
- Cancer
- Fibromyalgia
- Spinal disorders
- Heart disease
- Multiple sclerosis (MS)
- Diabetes
- Hip and knee injuries
- Muscle and bone disorders
- Chronic migraines
- Stroke and other neurological disorders
We will not be deterred even if you have so-called hard to prove conditions such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or seizures.
Over age 50 claims: If you are over the age of 50 and have the right to claim disability benefits, there are a specific set of rules involved. Attorney Tim Cuddigan has a complete understanding of these rules and can help you present a persuasive claim for benefits.
