Bipolar disorder, or manic depression, can be extremely disruptive and can create major difficulties in a person's life. With bipolar disorder a person may experience depression one moment, and in the next moment, feel elated. These periods of elation are known as mania. In the worst cases of bipolar disorder, a person can feel depressed and manic at the same time. For people with severe bipolar disorder, it can be very hard to find and keep a job.
If your bipolar disorder is preventing you from working, you may be eligible for disability benefits. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are programs that are intended to help people with mental and physical disorders that prevent them from working. Disability attorney Tim Cuddigan has helped people throughout Omaha and the surrounding parts of Nebraska and southwest Iowa build complete claims for disability. Contact us today.
Some people with mental conditions, such as bipolar disorder, believe that is it not worth the effort to apply for disability benefits. It is certainly true that the Social Security Administration (SSA) will require evidence before it approves a claim for benefits. It is also true that the SSA denies a majority of claims, at least in the initial stages. This should not discourage you. Since 1994, Tim Cuddigan has helped thousands of people get the benefits they need. Our law firm can help you compile your medical records in order to demonstrate why you meet the standards set out by the SSA. We are tenacious and thorough, and are committed to giving you the best possible chance to succeed in your claim.
