Disability benefits through the Social Security Administration (SSA) help more than 12 million people avoid financial hardships. First, you need to get through a difficult application process that denies benefits to more than two-thirds of the people who apply.
You can, however, improve your chances of success by hiring a disability benefits lawyer to answer your questions and provide outstanding representation in all matters related to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). When you contact Disability Partners, PLLC, a compassionate and caring disability lawyer carries out a complete assessment of your claim to determine whether you meet the disability eligibility requirements.
The assessment and consultation are free, and we do not charge a legal fee unless your claim for benefits is successful. If you already applied and were denied benefits that you deserve, an SSI or SSDI lawyer can fight the denial through the appeal process.
Disability Partners, PLLC, can make a difference in the outcome of your claim for SSI or SSDI benefits, but don’t take just our word for it. According to a report from the U.S. General Accountability Office, claimants who had a representative assisting them boasted of a success rate that was three times higher than applicants who did not.
The Social Security Administration has two programs that provide disability benefits. SSDI provides benefits to individuals who are “insured,” which means that you must have a record of earnings through a job or self-employment and paid Social Security taxes. If the work record is of a long enough duration, you are eligible for benefits provided you meet the disability requirement.
Through years of experience of assisting people with their claims for benefits, our SSDI lawyer knows what it takes to create a strong, well-documented application. The fact that you are disabled must be proven with medical records that include a specific diagnosis supported by clinical findings and diagnostic test results.
If you do not have a sufficiently long work history to qualify for the SSDI program, you may be eligible for disability benefits through the SSI program. To qualify for SSI, you must be in one or more of the following categories:
Benefits through SSI are limited to individuals in the three categories whose income and resources do not exceed strict limits. The purpose of the SSI program is to provide financial assistance to allow you to pay for food and shelter.
