SSDI Benefits
To be eligible for SSDI benefits, you must have a physical or mental disability, or a combination of the two, that is expected to significantly impair your ability to work for at least 12 months or that may result in death. You must also have worked and paid into the Social Security system for a sufficient duration of time.
SSDI Appeals
If your application for SSDI benefits has been denied, you have a limited time to request a reconsideration of your application. If your application is denied after you have requested a reconsideration, you have a limited time to appeal and request a hearing before an administrative law judge.
If your SSDI application has been denied, our attorneys can improve your chances for success in a variety of ways. We help our clients gather necessary medical evidence, and we work diligently to make a compelling argument for benefits on their behalf. We take time to understand how our clients' mental and/or physical impairments have impacted their ability to work. Then we work to effectively communicate that information on our clients' behalf.
When our clients have hearings before administrative law judges, we attend the hearings to advocate on their behalf and we prepare our clients for any questions they may face. We understand that our clients are significantly impacted by the outcome of their case, and we work hard to pursue the benefits they are entitled to receive.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
SSI is a benefit paid to people who are 65 or older, blind or disabled and who have limited income and assets. Because SSI benefits do not require a work history, people who are not eligible for SSDI benefits may be eligible for SSI benefits. In addition to handling SSDI appeals for our clients, we also have extensive experience in SSI appeals.
