When Should I Contact an Experienced Lawyer?
We represent clients throughout the SSDI claims process. Clients rely on our attorneys for legal assistance with the initial application, including an immediate Internet application. We understand your concerns with receiving your benefits in a timely manner. Clients rely on our Social Security disability lawyers for qualified legal representation at the administrative and court level. SSDI claims often go through a hearing before an administrative law judge. We have a high success rate in obtaining favorable outcomes for our clients. If your SSDI claim has been denied, or if you do not think the decision was fair, you can appeal. We also represent clients during the appeals process.
What Is the Difference Between SSDI and SSI?
Like SSDI, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a federal program that provides disability benefits for people who are unable to work. Unlike SSDI, however, SSI is need-based, meaning that it is not necessary to have an established work history in order to qualify. Depending on the level of need, some clients may be eligible to receive both Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance benefits.
Can I Get Workers' Compensation in Addition to SSDI?
If you were injured on the job and are unable to return to work, you may be able to receive Social Security disability and workers' compensation benefits. Our attorneys have the skill and experience to help you file multiple claims and can easily manage the complex paperwork involved.
