Qualifying for Social Security Disability Benefits

There are two types of disability programs available through the Social Security Administration (SSA): Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Each has different requirements for eligibility, but both require applicants to meet the SSA’s definition of disabled.

A person may be considered disabled if:

  • The individual is unable to do the work he or she did before
  • He or she cannot adjust to another type of work
  • The disability has lasted or is expected to last at least 12 months

Based on your medical records and ability to work, the SSA will determine if you are eligible to receive SSDI or SSI benefits.

The SSA understands that certain conditions are almost always debilitating and will prevent an individual from working. Because of this, it maintains a “blue book” of impairment listings. If your condition is listed in this blue book, your SSDI application will likely be approved.

Although it becomes more difficult to qualify for benefits if your disability is not included in the listing of impairments, you may still be eligible for benefits based on additional medical documentation.

Our Phoenix Social Security Disability lawyers can help you gather all of the necessary documentation to demonstrate that your debilitating condition prevents you from working.

The Social Security Disability Application Process

Accurately putting together your Social Security Disability application can be a tedious process. Because applications are often denied for a minor error or missing information, it is vital that you take the time to make sure that all of the information in your application is complete and accurate.

Having our Phoenix Social Security Disability lawyers by your side throughout this process can help ensure that you have all of the necessary information and paperwork included in your first application. This can help better your chances for approval.

If your claim has been denied, our experienced attorneys can review your application to identify and fix any errors that may have led to your denial. We can also seek additional medical records and supporting documentation that can help build a strong claim on your behalf.

Denied Claim?

Many people do not realize that they have the option to appeal a denied claim. Often individuals who have been denied benefits will immediately give up and will not apply again.

Most applicants are denied benefits on their first application, yet are approved later in the appeals process. If you do not immediately appeal your claim, you may miss out on important benefits.

With years of experience handling SSDI and SSI applications, we are well-versed in the entire appeals process and can help you fight for the benefits you deserve.

There are four levels of the appeals process and without an experienced attorney, it can be difficult to successfully navigate each level. Our Phoenix Social Security Disability lawyers can guide you through each step, which includes:

  • Reconsideration review
  • Hearing before an administrative law judge
  • Hearing before the Appeals Council
  • Lawsuit in federal district court

Regardless of where you may currently be in the appeals process, we can help make sure you have a strong case and a staunch advocate on your side the entire time.
