Start A Free EvaluationSocial Security Disability Options for Steubenville Stroke Survivors
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are the two types of SSD benefits that our Steubenville lawyers can help you fight for:
- SSDI: Eligible individuals must have a qualifying disability and at least 20 work credits. Some exceptions apply in which you can have fewer work credits.
- SSI: Unlike SSDI, this program is not based on work history. Instead, if you have a disability and a limited income, the Social Security Administration (SSA) may issue monthly payments to provide for your basic needs. In 2025, the maximum payment is up to $967 for single people.
You may qualify for one or both types of benefits, but you must fill out separate applications for each. Call Berger and Green today to find out how our stroke and TIA attorneys can get you the money you need to feel more financially stable.
We know you’re hurting. We can help. Free case evaluations, home and hospital visits.

If your SSD claim was denied, that doesn’t mean you’re out of options. The SSA allows claimants to file an appeal if they disagree with the decision. The whole process usually goes as follows:
- Application: When we file your claim, our Disability attorneys include your personal, tax, medical, and work information.
- Reconsideration: If you want to appeal the decision made on your application, we can submit new evidence and request Reconsideration.
- Appeal: If the Reconsideration does not result in a favorable decision, our legal team can request a hearing with an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). We may submit new evidence during this stage, too.
- Hearing: If your Request for Reconsideration is denied, Berger and Green can start preparing for a hearing, which can be online or in person. We can represent you over the phone, online or in court.
In general, you must show that the effects of your TIA or stroke will prevent you from working for at least 12 months.
After a stroke, the recovery process can be slow. You should not have to navigate the above steps by yourself. Let Berger and Green build a strong case for the Social Security benefits you deserve. Our SSD attorneys can help you prove your eligibility so you can avoid denials and delays in your claim.
You need an attorney with the experience and dedication to give your case the care it deserves.
Start A Free EvaluationAn Overview of Strokes and TIAs
The Mayo Clinic describes transient ischemic attacks, sometimes referred to as a ministroke, as an obstruction of blood flow to the brain. They don’t last longer than a few minutes or lead to long-term damage. Some of the symptoms may include:
- Blindness in one or both eyes
- Poor balance or dizziness
- Slurred speech
- Confusion
- Paralysis or weakness in one side of the body, usually in the face, an arm, or a leg
About a third of people who experience a TIA go on to have a stroke, often within a year. A stroke is much more serious than a TIA. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), strokes may cause damage or death to some parts of the brain. They usually occur when blood flow to the brain is cut off or when a blood vessel bursts in the brain.
Stroke symptoms are usually the same as those of a TIA. However, you must get medical attention quickly. Every second counts. The sooner you recognize the symptoms of a stroke, the more treatment options you may have.
If you can no longer work as a result of a stroke, the attorneys at Berger and Green can step in to protect your legal right to Disability benefits.
We can address all the legal hurdles that may be keeping you from getting a fair settlement.
