For individuals unable to earn a living due to disability, there are financial benefits available through the Social Security Administration. These benefits are not tied to age and are offered to adults as well as to children through two main programs: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Social Security Income (SSI).

To be eligible to receive social security benefits, an individual of any age must have a disabling condition that makes him or her unable to maintain gainful employment. This disabling condition may be a physical condition, a mental condition or a combination. Benefits may be paid as Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) for employees with sufficient work history or as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) based on the applicant's need.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments are based on prior and taxable work. A claimant must have earned sufficient credits during his or her years of work history to be eligible to receive SSDI. If a claimant's application is approved, the amount granted will depend on the earnings record of the insured worker.
Though unfortunate, it is common for initial applications to be denied. However, a large number of case denials are reversed when applicants work with an attorney to file appeals for denied claims. As a lawyer with significant experience working with the Social Security disability system, I can assist you in presenting the strongest evidence supporting your disability claim.
The process for obtaining disability benefits can be confusing and discouraging for many individuals and families. I understand the concerns you may have and the challenges you may face. With my understanding of the Social Security system and my experience in challenging denied applications, I am ready to work with you to obtain the financial benefits you require. Contact me today to schedule a free telephone consultation. For your convenience, I maintain three offices and offer weekend appointments.
