Bankruptcy Issues
It does not take long for Texans who cannot work because of a mental or physical disability to find themselves in real financial trouble. Filing for personal bankruptcy is not for deadbeats, and is not a sign of poor character or weakness. The U.S. bankruptcy code is intended to give hard working Americans a "fresh start". Dallas Fort Worth and Texas disability claimants are under great stress, and the financial pressures only add to that stress. You can speak with a bankruptcy attorney without charge to see if filing for bankruptcy would be in your best interest. I personally know the below attorneys, both graduates of SMU Dedman Law School here in Dallas, and experienced in bankruptcy representation:
DFW Metroplex Indigent Medical Care
Medical treatment is important to winning a Texas social security disability case. Unfortunately, most medical insurance is tied to our jobs: no job, no insurance. Residents of Texas counties with major metropolitan areas like Dallas, Tarrant. Smith, and McClennan who are without medical insurance and meet specific financial criterion can access medical health care through State of Texas county facilities.
