Disability Claims and Appeals

Claims for non-payment of insurance benefits are on the rise as insurance companies try to limit payments and slash insurance bills. And disability insurers are learning that policies written years ago are becoming very expensive for them. At the Law Office of Gregory A. Oliphant, we understand the applicable laws concerning disability benefits, and we appreciate the applicable rules and burdens of proof from the administrative level all the way up to federal court. We also understand that most claims are initially denied, but time and again we recover for our clients, on appeal, the benefits to which they are entitled.

Firm founder Gregory A. Oliphant focuses his practice on: Disability Determinations Section hearings, reconsideration requests, Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) hearings, Appeals Council review hearings, and appeals to federal courts.
