Help with SSD or VA Disability: Financial Relief to Steady Your Life

Kyle Gross is a Social Security Disability and veterans’ disability lawyer at Horenstein, Nicholson & Blumenthal (HNB) helping people gain access to crucial benefits to support themselves when health problems have altered their lives.

Both programs provide financial assistance: Social Security Disability when you’re unable to stay in the workforce and veterans’ disability when you’re living with lasting effects of an injury in the armed forces.

  • As a Social Security Disability attorney, Kyle helps clients complete complicated disability application forms, works with their doctors to gather key medical evidence, builds arguments for why they should be approved for financial assistance, and helps them appeal denials of benefits, including testifying before disability judges.
  • As a veterans’ disability attorney, Kyle helps military veterans prove that their medical impairments stemmed from their service and that they should receive the highest appropriate disability rating—which means winning the maximum possible VA benefits.

Before joining HNB in 2025, Kyle handled other kinds of legal cases for people in difficult personal situations who needed help. These experiences solidified his interest in helping people as they deal with hard times because of bad health.

If a medical crisis has robbed you of the ability to make an income, or you face limitations resulting from your time in the service, it’s easy to feel lonely and stressed. Disability benefits let you breathe easier.

Disability lawyers like Kyle at HNB make sure you receive the personal attention and care that you should as you go through these programs.

HNB has helped thousands of people secure hundreds of millions of dollars in benefits in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, and Dayton and across Ohio.

Ohioans say, “Helping me, that’s HNB.”

    How Kyle Gross Helps You: Getting Social Security Disability in Ohio

    Social Security Disability benefits provide two major forms of financial assistance if your working life is cut short by a health crisis.

    • Access to Medicare (after a waiting period) or Medicaid to cover your medical treatment

    This is exactly what you need to keep yourself on steady ground in the face of a devasting loss of income.

    And it’s not a free handout. You paid for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) coverage with every paycheck. You earned these benefits.

    But they aren’t easy to get. The government is always trying to stop anyone from cheating the system, so they created thousands of rules for who qualifies. Social Security denies most people at first, so they have to try again.

    This is why it helps to work with a skilled Social Security Disability lawyer like Kyle Gross.

    Government studies have even found that people who had representatives like lawyers with them when they attended their disability hearings were almost three times more likely to win benefits approval.

    There’s only a fee to have a disability lawyer supporting your claim if you win benefits.

    How Kyle Gross Helps You: Maximizing Your Veterans’ Disability Rating

    Like Social Security Disability, veterans’ disability benefits recognize situations where you can’t work with what’s called “Total Disability Individual Unemployability (TDIU)” benefits.

    But there’s much more to veterans’ disability benefits. Unlike Social Security, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs awards benefits on a scale that rates the severity of your disability.

    You may face a challenge getting the VA to award the fullest benefits possible. A skilled VA disability lawyer like Kyle Gross steps in on your behalf to argue for a higher disability rating.

    To be awarded VA disability benefits in the first place, you must also show that your health impairments are connected to your service.

    Your veterans’ disability attorney helps you build the evidence, testimony and more that you need to prove you deserve the maximum possible benefits.

    You stood up for your country. Get HNB and Kyle to stand up for you. You can start with a free, no obligations, initial consultation on your VA disability claim.
