Frequently Asked Questions

What does a social security disability lawyer in Johnston do?
A lawyer helps you prepare and file your disability claim, gather medical records, and represent you at hearings. They ensure your application meets all SSA requirements and deadlines. In Iowa, they also help you understand how state vocational factors affect your case.
How long do I have to appeal a denial in Iowa?
You have 60 days from the date of the denial letter to file an appeal with the Social Security Administration. This deadline is strict and does not include extensions. A Johnston lawyer can help you file the necessary paperwork on time.
Can I work part time while my disability claim is pending?
Yes, but you must report any earnings to the SSA. In Iowa, earning more than the substantial gainful activity limit (1550 dollars per month in 2024) may hurt your claim. A lawyer can advise on how part time work affects your eligibility.
