Welcome to West Coast Disability Law Group's blog!

Hello! Welcome to our newly created blog! My name is Megan DiTolla and I am an attorney at West Coast Disability Law Group, LLP. My business partner, and fellow attorney, Cari M. Schwartz, and I, have been practicing Social Security Disability law for the past decade and we have handled over 2,000 cases between the two of us. We have learned a lot in our years of practice and we were looking for a forum to discuss some of the interesting developments in the Social Security Disability world, as well discuss the many issues that are important to those who live with physical and mental health impairments. We have a website www.westcoastdisability.com, but we realized that doesn't allow us to discuss relevant current events in an informal and real-time atmosphere, so hence - we created our new blog!

The SSDI process is constantly going through changes (some good and some bad) , so now we have an outlet in which we can let our clients and other readers know about some of the more interesting changes that are taking place.

Just like all of you, we are waiting to see what the fallout is of the sequestration by the Federal Government. We have already been told that we can expect longer processing periods at the initial application., reconsideration, hearing, and Appeals Council stages of the Social Security Disability Insurance process. We do not yet know exactly what SSA means by "longer processing periods," but we will let you know as we get new statistics.

If you have questions or particular topics you would like us to discuss about SSDI or SSI benefits, post a comment or email us at info@westcoastdisability.com.

We hope you enjoy our blog and learn some interesting things as we go along!

Warm Regards,

Megan and Cari
