Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits are designed to provide income to people who have injuries, disabilities, or illnesses that are expected to last more than a year or result in death. Unlike worker’s compensation benefits, injuries do not have to be job related. However, most initial applications for SSDI and SSD are denied, even in cases where benefits should be paid.

Whether your application for Social Security disability has been denied or you are submitting an initial application for benefits, we can help increase the chances your application or appeal will be approved.

Getting Social Security Disability Benefits

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has compiled a list of medical conditions that qualifies for Social Security Disability benefits. However, illness or injury does not have to be on the list to qualify as long as the symptoms and affects are equivalent to a disease, which is listed.

Our Pennsylvania Social Security Disability lawyers have significant experience compiling information and filling out a Social Security Disability application that highlights the effects of our client’s condition. However, it is a necessity to have medical records to prove the effects of the injury, disability, or illnesses.

Denied Social Security Disability Claims

Most initial Social Security applications are denied because paperwork was improperly filled out or supporting medical evidence is not included. If your application is denied you have 60 days after you receive a denial letter to file a Request for Reconsideration. Even if your appeal is rejected you can still file an appeal with an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) within 60 days. Having an experienced SSDI or SSI attorney helping you throughout the process can significantly increase your chances of success.
