Applying for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits is an important financial decision for anyone who is out of work due to illness or injury. A sudden loss of income, paired with health challenges, keeping up with medical appointments, tracking medications, etc., all place a significant amount of stress on individuals applying for benefits. Furthermore, the SSDI application process can be long and complex – there are many deadlines and milestones to track, and this can be a lot to manage. Working with a professional representative like Brown & Brown Absence Services Group can alleviate the stress of applying for SSDI and help claimants focus more on what matters most – their health and family.
We created this video to illustrate how working with a professional advocate like Brown & Brown can positively impact your life.
