A disability is an impairment or combination of impairments, physical or mental, that stop an individual from working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

If you think you are disabled and have stopped working, you should apply for benefits NOW. You may do this by

• Going online at www.ssa.gov
• Calling the toll free number at 1-800-772-1213, or by
• Going in person to your branch office.

I become involved after a claimant has applied and has been denied, but if you are having difficulty applying, please contact me. My contact information is slgabin@pacifier.com or (503) 620-3171.

Most applications are denied regardless of merit. You should not take a denial as proof of the merits of your claim. Many denied claims are good claims. If your claim is denied, do not give up! Contact me, Sara Gabin, to schedule an in-person free consultation. My contact information is slgabin@pacifier.com or (503) 620-3171.

I understand that your goal is to establish cash flow and medical benefits as soon as possible. I will discuss your situation point out the strategies that make the most sense for your case. No two cases are alike!

Know that strict time limits apply to bringing a personal injury claim. Good cases have been lost just because a client has missed a time limit. So, if your case is denied, call my firm right away for a free consultation. 503.620.3171
