Mayra could not stand for more than five minutes. Back pain, sciatic nerve problems, and thyroid issues had taken away her ability to work. But when she applied for her Disability payments, Social Security denied her. The reason was not medical. It was her age.

Mayra learned about Casa de la Justicia from a commercial on television. She called, and the firm took her case without charging her anything upfront.

Her case lasted five years due to Social Security’s delays and denials. Throughout that entire time, the team kept developing her file. When Mayra turned 50, her case was approved.

Mayra received approximately $70,000 in retroactive payments, the money Social Security owed her for all those years of waiting.

Today she receives approximately $1,600 every month in monthly Disability payments. With that income she covers her bills, her food, and her rent.

Mayra did not have to pay anything out of pocket throughout the entire process. The fees came from the retroactive payment, paid directly by Social Security.

Five years of waiting did not cost Mayra a single month of what she was owed. Every one of those months was paid. And a denial that seemed final turned out not to be.

If your case was denied, the reason matters. A denial for insufficient evidence and a denial for other factors are fought in different ways. That is why it is worth having an attorney review your denial letter before you decide to give up.
