Shook & Stone successfully secured Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) approval for a North Las Vegas client after managing the claim from initial filing through final decision. The fully favorable determination awarded ongoing monthly disability benefits of $2,717, enabling the client to proceed with financial stability and confidence.
The Narrative
Problem: Inability to Work and Need for Reliable Guidance
Our client became unable to continue working due to disabling medical conditions that prevented sustained employment. Like many SSDI applicants, she needed help navigating a system that requires precise applications, accurate work history, and timely responses—with little margin for error.
From the outset, the client sought representation that would treat her with respect, keep her informed, and ensure the filing was completed the first time correctly.
Action: Professional, Communicative SSDI Representation
Shook & Stone handled the SSDI claim end-to-end, including:
- Preparing and filing a complete SSDI Application (SSA-16) with an established disability onset date of June 30, 2025
- Coordinating work history and earnings documentation tied to Social Security eligibility
- Communicating consistently with the client so she always knew the status and next steps
- Monitoring the claim through SSA review to avoid unnecessary delays
This attorney-guided approach ensured the claim stayed on track and properly supported.
Result: Fully Favorable SSDI Decision with Monthly Benefits
The Social Security Administration issued a Notice of Award finding the client disabled under SSA rules and approving:
- Monthly SSDI benefits of $2,717 beginning December 2025
- Ongoing payments were issued monthly thereafter
- Long-term income protection under federal disability law
The approval relieved financial uncertainty and validated the client’s decision to seek experienced legal help early.
Client Review – Respectful Communication
“Shook and Stone handled my disability filing. From my first call with them, I was treated respectfully and received timely and appropriate communication.”
This feedback reflects the firm’s SSDI philosophy: clear communication, professionalism, and respect at every stage of the process.
