If you have a TBI and were denied public benefits

I was denied Medicaid

We provide information, advice, and legal representation to individuals who have problems with Medicaid and who have been discriminated against due to their disability. Please visit our page on Medicaid and healthcare for more information.

I was denied Social Security

Although we do not take these cases, you do have the right to appeal your denial. You can contact the Legal Advice and Referral Center for more information or find a private attorney through the NH Lawyer Referral Service.

I was denied Housing

The law protects against discrimination in housing based on disability.

We provide information, advice, and legal representation to individuals who have problems with housing and who have been discriminated against due to their disability. Please visit our page on housing discrimination for more information.
