You don’t have to be permanently disabled to qualify for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits.

A common misunderstanding is that only lifelong conditions qualify. In reality, the Social Security Administration looks at whether your condition is expected to last at least 12 months. That means even if your disability isn’t forever, you could still be eligible for support.

At Crowe & Shanahan, we guide you through every step of the SSD process with one-on-one legal help and no fee unless you win.

If you're unsure about your eligibility, contact our St. Louis office for a free consultation.

Getting a Social Security Disability denial letter can be frustrating and confusing. But this is not the end of the road.

Many people in Missouri and Illinois are initially denied benefits when they apply for them for the first time. This doesn’t always mean you are not eligible. It often means that the Social Security Administration requires additional documentation or that an error occurred in the paperwork.

At Crowe & Shanahan, we focus entirely on SSD and SSI disability cases. We help people appeal denied claims, gather stronger medical evidence, and present a clear case on their behalf.

Let us help you get back on track. Learn more at the link below.
