I have a friend that was denied SSI. I feel he has a valid case. Who can I contact to get some help with this situation?

Try a Center for Independent Living, also known as CIL, or ILC. They are located in all 50 states. They offer free services to people with disabilities. Here is a link to a directory:

I am not an attorney, but I work as a Disability Advocate at a Center in Boise, Idaho. I have helped people with SS paperwork, and even attended appointments with people.

Unfortunately the are called attorneys. (just being straight forward) They will usually petition on your behalf for a percentage, which means that they will drag it out. The average of being denied is three times. Tell your friend to keep trying. It sounds to me you could be their advocate, you are already trying. Tear up the Internet and you will find a lot of free help in the government agencies. If you don't succeed the first time TRY,TRY,TRY again!--best wishes and fortune!

Hi
Your friend can appeal the Social Security decision, but he must appeal very quickly, as there is a short time period of appeal.
Be sure that when he reapplies, that he as much information about his medical condition, and be very frank in how it affects his day to day living.
I have included some links for you to talk to a lawyer, who deal specific to SSI claims.

As an educator in particular preparation for the previous 9 years, i understand that throughout New Mexico, finding out would have shown that his different behaviors (that are patently related to his bipolar disease) would qualify his attractiveness into incredible classes. A 504 plan (for my area) purely delays the inevitable. Your newborn could qualify now and how long is his college going to "wait" in the past they locate out that he's not preserving up together with his grade point? Early detection is the main to assisting your newborn so he won't would desire to warfare as he keeps with the aid of college. proceed to have your newborn evaluated. do not supply up!!! Your newborn merits the terrific no rely what!

An attorney. They often charge but get the job done. I applied but I guess I was in bad shape. My Federal Disability was approved the first time around.
