If you are struggling with a physical or mental health condition that makes it difficult or impossible to work, you may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits.

What Is Social Security Disability?
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are federal programs that provide cash benefits to people with disabilities who meet certain eligibility criteria. SSDI is based on your work history and Social Security taxes paid, while SSI is based on your income and resources. Both programs have strict medical and non-medical requirements that applicants must meet.
Why Do You Need a Social Security Disability Lawyer?
While you can apply for Social Security disability benefits on your own, the process can be overwhelming and frustrating, especially if you have a complex medical history or your initial application is denied. The SSA has a high denial rate for initial applications, and the appeals process can take months or even years. A Social Security disability attorney can help you:
- Determine if you are eligible for benefits and which program is right for you
- Gather and submit medical and other evidence to support your claim
- File your application or appeal on time and correctly
- Navigate the SSA's rules and regulations
- Represent you at a hearing if necessary
- Increase your chances of approval and get the maximum benefits you deserve
