Texas state laws for social security, appealing a denial of application

Social Security denied due to 40 Point inelgibility: Hi

My mother in law's Social Security has been denied two days back. Her husband both are permanent residents in US,worked until he collected 38 points before which he passed away and could not make 40 points. She has been denied social security for that reason. She is a widower without any means to earn her living. She is 65 years old and not even high school educated. She cannot work and her son is still in medical school. She is currently staying with us. I want to talk with a laywer who can advise me on how to proceed and want to know the chances of her getting the SS benefits. Please email me at manisva@gmail.com - Is this your question?
