“Brown and Croupen helped me win my disability case. It was harder for me because I’m under 50 years old. They made sure all the info from my doctors was submitted and the judge approved my case. They go above and beyond to help in anyway they can. I definitely recommend B&C to all of my friends and family.”

Understanding the types of social security disability benefits
There are two types of social security benefits that individuals may apply for:
- Social Security Disability Income (SSDI): Provides income and benefits for individuals who have worked and paid social security taxes in the past but now suffer a medical disability that prevents them from obtaining income.
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI): Provides those who are disabled with income regardless of whether or not they have been employed in the past.
The social security disability lawyers at Brown & Crouppen Law Firm have extensive experience with the SSD & SSI application processes and can help clients gather and present this evidence to obtain the social security income and benefits they deserve.

- Have a restricted ability to perform basic work-related tasks (such as walking or lifting)
