Legal help for applying for disability
Posted: Tue Dec 17, 2013 4:05 pm
Hi, my brother is 55 years old. One weekend last year he had multiple heart attacks and ended up at the Hospital. He ended up having quadruple heart bypass. He has not been able to work since then. The doctor had him apply for disability. He was unable to get this since he mostly worked for cash in the carpentry/handyman trade all his life. His heart is currently only functioning at 38% which makes it hard for him to do his former work. He also has been diagnosed with COPD. His legs cannot carry him more than one block before they start shooting pain and going numb. He is currently receiving Medicaid until January, and receives $200 a month in food stamps.
He can only work for 15-20 minutes at a time and then he has to take a break because he gets very weak and dizzy. So his old employers will not let him work for them anymore. He has no income and needs help paying his bills. His two sons are trying to help him but they are struggling financially as well.
I googled free legal services for him. He is currently trying to get social security to provide him with something each month, even if it is only $500. So he needs some type of representation.
I found your website and email address while googling. My brother does not have a computer or internet access. Can you please provide a phone number for him to contact you for assistance?
Thank you very much for your assistance.
