Social Security / Disability

People who have a legitimate claim to Social Security / Disability benefits are often denied these claims by the government and are unaware of their right to appeal this decision and recover lost benefits. Lumpkin, Oxner & Stacy, PA has successfully regained benefits for hundreds of clients initially denied benefits by filing for reconsideration and arguing the case in front of the administrative law judge.

They work diligently on their client's behalf to present a thorough case involving:

• The testimony of medical and vocational experts to offset the government's case.
• Determination of eligibility using federal statutes defining a disability.
• Medical management and evaluation to determine the extent and permanence of the disability.

In addition, many people are unaware of the interplay between SSI and Worker's Compensation benefits. Many times Worker's Comp benefits will be offset based on the circumstances of the disability and the amount of Social Security benefits received. Lumpkin, Oxner & Stacy can help reduce the offset and spread it out over the lifetime of the disabled individual, resulting in higher benefit payments each month.

Lumpkin, Oxner & Stacy understand the negative effects of benefits denied by the government, medical bills, lost wages and lost assets can all mount, creating a difficult financial situation for an individual and their family. The firm has the experience and legal resources to appeal these cases before the government and win back benefits for their clients so they can get on the road to recovery and on with their lives. They represent clients in Georgetown, South Carolina and throughout the state, including all of Horry, Georgetown and Williamsburg counties.
