Elizabeth Fowler Lunn

For over 20 years I have helped 1000's of individuals navigate the claims process for government benefits. Social Security disability and Veterans benefits are federal programs with often complicated and confusing claims processes. I work with each client personally to help make the process go as smoothly as possible.

Q. Disabled son was on SSA. Without notification, they stopped his checks. He has HSP. No cure yet, can someone help him?

13 May 2021

A: He needs to contact his local Social Security office and get them to mail him a copy of the decision. It's possible that they had an old address for him and he did not get his notice. He may also have missed the mail for the case review. He can also call the national toll free number at 800-772-1213 and get more information. They may allow him to file an appeal late. If not, he will need to file a new application. Once he gets a copy of the notice I suggest that he contact a local attorney who does a lot of social security work to see if he can get some assistance in trying to file a late appeal.

Q. I have OA in both knees can I get disability?

12 May 2021

A: Depending on how much you are currently working and earning you may qualify for disability benefits. There are several things Social Security will consider, including your age and your past work. But if you are earning what they consider to be substantial gainful earnings (even through part-time work) you will not qualify, no matter how serious your health conditions are.

Q. I have been divorce for over 20 years is my ex wife entitled to any of my social security money?

5 May 2021

A: That depends on how long you were married, whether or not she has remarried, etc. However, if she is eligible for payment based on your work record, it does not affect the amount of your payment.
