ALS and Social Security Disability Benefits

ALS and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)

Thanks to an “Ice Bucket Challenge” gone viral on social media, awareness of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is on the rise along with soaring funds to help further the ALS Association’s mission to find a cure, support individuals with this illness, and develop public policy that will make life with ALS a little easier.

Also referred to as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, the ALS Association defines it as “a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.” Individuals slowly lose control over their muscles, eventually leading to paralysis and death in advanced stages.

If you’ve been diagnosed with ALS and are unable to work because of your symptoms, you may be eligible for SSDI. The expert disability lawyers of Jan Dils Attorneys at Law can help get you and your loved ones the support you need.

We encourage you to schedule a free consultation, either by phone or at one of our five West Virginia offices — in Parkersburg, Charleston, Logan, Huntington or Beckley – or in Charlotte, NC. Call us at 877.526.3457 or send us a message for a prompt response.
