Forbes Disability Group endeavors to provide disabled persons with competent representation so that they can have the best opportunity to obtain Social Security Disability and Veterans Disability benefits.
For people who are sick or hurt, disability benefits may be the only way to obtain income on which to live. Although there are several types of public and private disability plans, the ones administered by the Social Security Administration and the Department of Veterans Affairs are the most common. Applicants often give up after they are denied at the first or second level before they ever get to a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. However, it is at the hearing level where many applicants succeed.
Our philosophy is "Don't give up! Appeal!" A representative can assist the applicant in gathering and presenting medical and other evidence, and in obtaining witnesses. The proper gathering and presentation of evidence can make the difference between winning and losing. If your claim for disability has been denied or if you are ready to apply, we can help! We represent persons in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Florida and throughout the United States. Randal S. Forbes is the managing member of Forbes Disability Group, LLC.
