Assessing Your Case

Social Security Disability (SSD) is a federal program that provides monthly benefits to replace an applicant’s lost income when that person is unable to work for a long period of time due to injury or illness. Remember the program was created with money YOU paid into the system while you were working through payroll deductions. The amount of money you receive in benefits is based on the top 20 years of your lifetime earnings before you became disabled. Thus, the longer you worked and the more you earned, the higher your monthly ”personal Insurable amount’ or “PIA” will be. Other benefits included in the SSA Disability program are benefits for your dependent children under the age of 18 and, after 30 months, Medicare eligibility.

How and When to Apply:

If you (or a member of the family) cannot work because of a disabling condition, Social Security Disability may provide benefits to replace part of that income. If the illness or injury is expected to last more than 12 months, you are likely eligible for benefits. You can file your application at either:

  1. At your local Social Security office; or
  2. Online through the Social Security Administration’s website (www.ssa.gov)


Once you apply for disability benefits, the waiting begins. As you may be aware, the Social Security Administration is both backlogged and a slow process. You will most likely not hear anything for 3-6 months, until you are either approved for benefits or receive a notice of denial. 


It is important to keep in mind that nearly 80 percent of people applying for disability are rejected on the first application. If your application is turned down, you have 60 days from the date of denial to appeal your claim. If you choose to go back to work or fail to appeal within the 60 days without a good reason, you will have to start the process all over.

Winning Your Case

It can feel difficult, even impossible to treat with medical doctors when you are unable to work and often have no health insurance. I assure you we sympathize, and we will help in any way we can. However, we cannot stress enough the importance of medical treatment if you hope to win Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits.

While approximately 4 out of 5 initial claims are turned down by Social Security (with or without legal help). Fortunately, our firm has a much higher success rate in Social Security Disability Appeals. Often, we find the cases we do lose at the hearing level, it’s usually because of a lack of medical treatment and the records to support the claim.


Having the right attorney help you with your case can greatly improve your chances of success at a hearing. We can relieve the burden of figuring this out on your own. We are available to answer your questions along the way. We win approximately 75 percent of our SSD hearings. We don’t get paid unless you get approved for benefits!
