Social Security Mental Disability

Disability Benefits and Mental Illnesses

The already complex process of applying for Social Security disability benefits (SSD or SSI) is even worse for people with mental illness. Without compassionate advocacy, people with mental illnesses may never be able to get access to SSD or SSI — the government’s two main benefits programs for people with disabilities who are unable to work.

At the law firm of Jan Dils, Attorneys at Law, we focus our law practice almost exclusively on helping disabled people get the government benefits they deserve. We provide knowledgeable and compassionate legal assistance to people with all kinds of disabilities, and we have special experience helping people with mental illness complete applications and appeals for Social Security disability insurance (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
