The Social Security Administration (SSA) is a complex framework of departments and decision makers who may seem intent on denying people benefits they are entitle to. The truth is that SSA has a very specific list of qualifying disabilities and disorders. I am attorney Richard Sly. I have been practicing Social Security claims law for over thirty years.
