“Without the existence of your group, the professional knowledge and expertise you possess and your patience and willingness to help as often as needed, I would not have been able to complete the Social Security Disability application successfully. Our community is fortunate to have a resource such as your group. Anyone filing for SSA Disability needs professional, knowledgeable help from people willing to provide it. Thank you, again, from the bottom of my heart.”

"Your advocate done a great job. It was evident that she knew all aspects of her job criteria, sincere and professional second to none. Her demeanor (attitude-words-kindness and being thorough/thorough-complete) left me encouraged to say the least. With individuals in your office as such, you cannot go wrong. Thank you."

“I first applied for benefits for my son in July 2008 and after being denied 3 times by Social Security Administration, we decided to hire a law firm to represent him however we heard nothing from them. Meeting you was a blessing. You became our resource for everything from Social Security issues to programs for people with disabilities. The best part is you were able to answer all my questions and address my questions and address all my concerns! Finally, there was someone I can call for answers and if you didn’t know the answer then you certainly knew how to find it! Thank you very much for all the assistance you continue to provide. It is good to know that people with disabilities have a place like the Disability Help Center to provide much needed resources.”

“I was needing help in how to file an appeal for Social Security Disability. The Disability Help Center was absolutely wonderful, terrifically helpful and very knowledgeable! Their demeanor and ability helped put my mind at ease and walking me through the process with Social Security. Without them, I feel I would still be floundering in the “Social Security Soup Bowl” and who knows where I would be now. The Disability Help Center is a much needed organization to help people like me, who found themselves struggling with the way Social Security works.“

She was a big help and she was able to explain the process to my client in a way that was easy to understand. It was a very good experience overall and I want you to know that my colleagues here at Maria Sardinas Center also have nothing but positive things to say about your staff and the services you offer.

“On behalf of Jewish Family Services of San Diego, I want to thank the Disability Help Center for all the free and knowledgeable Social Security Disability assistance you have provided to our clients. Many of the men and women I work with as a psychiatric case manger have challenges navigating the Social Security system and your service is essential in getting their needs met. I recently brought a client to your office and met with one of your Disability Specialist who was extremely helpful and provided several resources as well as called the Social Security office herself just to make sure it was worth our time to go in and file for SSDI. She took the extra step to help her and we greatly appreciate it. Since then, I have referred several clients to your office and they have all given me positive feedback about the help they received. Thank you for the work you do in the manner that you do it; always with compassion, professionalism and patience.”

“Whether it's SSI or SSDI-the employees at the Help Center know all the ins-and-outs. You want to be careful filling out the paperwork to apply for aid because one wrong answer to a specific question on the application can be an automatic denial and more headaches for you. I visited the office to help a friend who was applying and was very impressed with all that they do here. The non-profit Help Center offers all the tools needed to get the benefits due you. Don't make the mistake of filing for Social Security Disability on your own for the first time, appealing a denial, or preparing for the Administrative Judge Review. These advocates at the Help Center are right here to help.”

“I can’t thank you enough for allowing me the ability to contact your center at anytime for help. You have been so helpful and extend such sincere kindness and professionalism to me and the men and women who need your assistance with their Social Security issues. What a blessing it was to find your Help Center, when I first encountered a gentleman lost in the system, you had an appointment booked within days and met with this gentleman with all the cumbersome paperwork and gently guide him. Within months he was receiving funds, able to take care of himself and a very happy man. I appreciate the Disability Help Center for their kindness, dedication and for going the distance in offering services necessary to help those struggling mentally and physically.”
