When comparing SSDI attorneys, consider:
What is SSDI?
Social Security Disability Insurance is a federal benefit program for qualifying people with disabilities who have sufficient work history. Eligibility involves both medical disability requirements and work-related requirements.
Can I appeal if my SSDI application is denied?
Yes. Social Security provides an appeals process for disability decisions. Because deadlines apply, review the denial notice carefully and consider seeking assistance promptly if you want to challenge the decision.
Can I receive SSDI for a mental health condition?
Potentially. Mental health conditions may qualify when they satisfy Social Security's disability requirements and are supported by appropriate medical evidence showing how the condition limits the person's ability to function and work.
Can I work while receiving SSDI?
Social Security has specific rules governing work and earnings for SSDI beneficiaries, including work incentives. Because earnings thresholds and applicable rules can change, beneficiaries should check current Social Security requirements before making employment decisions.
When should I hire an SSDI lawyer?
Consider contacting an SSDI lawyer when a claim has been denied, medical evidence is complicated, eligibility is unclear, an appeal is necessary, or you are preparing for a disability hearing.
