Depression & Bipolar Disorder

Salt Lake City, Utah, Lawyer — Disability Benefits for Mental Health Matters

When depression, bipolar disorder or anxiety limit your life and prevent you from working, there is hope. Social Security Disability benefits provide the support you need for daily living expenses. As an experienced Utah attorney — E. Craig McAllister — I can help you receive these benefits, whether you are just thinking of applying or have already been denied.

When clients visit my Orem, Utah, law office, I work personally with them, guiding them through the SSDI and SSI system. I often explain that the Social Security Administration looks at certain characteristics of affective disorders when deciding whether or not a person should receive SSDI or SSI benefits for his or her bipolar or depression claim.

Bipolar Claims

To qualify for SSDI or SSI, bipolar disorders must be severe. Your medical records must show disturbance of mood accompanied by full or partial manic or depressive syndrome. You must show medical documentation of symptoms like changes in appetite, sleep and disturbances in basic life functions.

Depression Claims

Similarly, the symptoms of your depression must be severe in order to qualify you for a Social Security Disability benefit claim. But it is best to talk with a lawyer before you decide whether or not you are eligible.

For additional information about many disabling impairments please consult the following information at: Social Security Administration Web page.
