If You Don’t Understand How Workers’ Compensation and Social Security Disability Benefits Interact, You May Hate Yourself Later

Nancy Cavey — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 15:07:58 +0000

If you have been injured on the job, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits, you also might be entitled to Social Security Disability benefits if you have an injury that will take you out of work for at least one year

Many workers’ compensation laws require you to apply for Social Security Disability benefits and then allow the carrier to reduce you money benefits by the receipt of the Social Security Disability benefits.

Additionally, if you are entitled to Medicare, and settle your workers’ compensation case, you will have to take Medicare’s interest into consideration in a Medicare set-aside account. Make sure that you are represented by a workers’ compensation attorney who also understands Social Security Disability benefits. At Cavey and Barrett, your experienced workers’ compensation and Social Security Disability attorneys can help you understand your rights to workers’ compensation benefits and Social Security Disability benefits and the interaction between both benefits.

Getting Rid of the Sleepless Nights While You Wait for Your Social Security Disability Hearing: An “On the Record” Decision

Nancy Cavey — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 15:00:56 +0000

If you’ve applied for Social Security Disability benefits and are 55 years or older, unable to perform your past relevant work, and are limited to unskilled work, you might be entitled to what’s called “on the record” decision. This is a request, made prior to a hearing by your attorney for a fully favorable decision granting your Social Security Disability claim. An “on the record” decision is granted when there is clear cut evidence of your functional limitations and it’s clear that once the Social Security Administration went through the 5 Step Sequential Evaluation, you’d be found disabled.

At Cavey and Barrett, we prepare a written hearing memorandum prior to the administrative hearing in front of the Social Security judge. We ask the judge to read the memorandum, review your disability claim and issue an on the record decision without having a hearing.

At Cavey and Barrett, we know that one way to get rid of your sleepless nights while you are waiting for your Social Security Disability benefits is to request an on the record decision prior to your Social Security Disability hearing.
