Before I called Chihak & Gustad, I had given up all hope I would receive my Social Security DisabilityAn impairment that qualifies as a disability under Social Security Administration (SSA) guidelines must be quite serious. The impairment must render the applicant unable to perform any substantial gainful activity — that is, the applicant must not be able to earn more than a minimum amount of money, determined each year by the SSA. The impairment must completely disable the applicant from working. It must be expected to last for a year, have already lasted a year or be expected to cause the applicant's death. But this is not the end of the qualifying tests.. I had no money and many bills to pay. After my first phone conversation with Mr. Chihak, I felt confident I had called the right attorney. I could see the light at the end of the tunnel. Within a few months, my claim was approved. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for the job Mr. Chihak and his staff did for me.
