CPR'S DISABILITY BENEFITS UNIT
SOCIAL SECURITY AND SSI DISABILITY APPEALS
Individual Representation to Clients in Western Massachusetts
The Center's Disability Benefits Unit, in its Northampton, Massachusetts office, represents mentally and physically disabled clients who have applied for, and been denied, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
SSDI: CPR attorneys represent clients in Franklin, Hampshire, Hampden, and Berkshire Counties who wish to appeal a denial of SSDI benefits. Inasmuch as the Center does not have any outside funding to support its SSDI representation, SSDI cases are taken on a contingency fee basis. No fee is due unless a case is successfully resolved. The fee is set by Social Secuirty rules.
SSI: CPR attorneys represent clients in SSI appeals in Hampshire and Franklin Counties. There is no fee for SSI appeals.
Callers contacting the Center regarding Social Security matters will undergo a brief intake screening conducted by a paralegal and then will be referred to an attorney.
