Suffering a debilitating injury can be tough on anyone especially here in McAllen where we value hard work. Having to stay home while your friends and family go off to work at McAllen Medical Center or Convergys can be frustrating and emotionally taxing. To many times, a person who suffers from a disability feels remorse for not being able to provide for their families from putting food on the table to paying basic bills for electricity and water. Fortunately, the federal government created the SSI/SSDI programs to assist people just like you who suffer from a debilitating injury.
