Your health makes it impossible to work, and you need help.

When health problems take away your ability to work, you deserve a fair chance at financial relief and a decent life.

What Social Security Disability Benefits Can You Receive in Tucson?

When you qualify for Social Security Disability, you’re not just receiving a monthly check—you’re securing access to essential health care.

Social Security offers two types of disability benefits: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

  • SSDI is for people who have worked and paid Social Security taxes, providing benefits based in part on past earnings and giving access to Medicare health coverage.
  • SSI is for those with little to no work history and limited income, offering financial assistance along with Medicaid coverage.

No matter which program applies to you, the baseline for getting approved is proving that your medical condition prevents you from working and that there’s no chance you’ll return to work in under a year.

It’s like making a legal case, because Social Security has thousands of rules meant to weed out anyone who doesn’t truly qualify for benefits.

They deny the vast majority of people who apply, requiring them to go through a difficult appeals process.

Our Tucson Social Security Disability lawyers handle the legal complexities, gather the necessary documentation, and build the strongest case possible for your claim.

We start with a free consultation to give you an idea what to expect.

With Slepian Ellexson, you can be confident that somebody skilled is taking care of your disability claim, and you can focus on what truly matters—your health.
