Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) Denial Lawyers

FAQ: Social Security Disability Denial Insurance (SSDI) Lawyers

Do I need to move fast after a Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) denial?
Yes! Our Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) denial lawyers need to first talk to clients within 60 days of a denial. We recommend you contact us well before your appeal period has ended so we can make sure your appeal is filed.

Will I get Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) back pay if I win?
Yes. If your appeal is successful, you should receive some Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) back pay. The amount of back pay you receive depends upon your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) pay rate and how long your appeal took.

Can I receive benefits for time before I applied for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) ?
Yes. Some applicants can receive Social Security DisabilityInsurance (SSDI) benefits for up to 12 months before their application is filed. You must have had your disabilities during that time and you must meet other requirements.

What is the difference between SSDI and SSI benefits?
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Insurance (SSI) are two different disability programs ran by the Social Security Administration. SSDI is a benefit for disabled people who have earned enough work credits in the last ten years of employment. SSI is a disability program for low-income individuals who do not have enough work credits for SSDI.

Who determines if my Social Security claim is approved?
Your application will first be decided at your local Disability Determination Services Office. A disability examiner and a doctor will evaluate your claim. If you are then denied, you can ask for a request for consideration. Your Social Security Disability claim will then go through the previous process again but by different examiners and doctors. If you receive a second denial, your Social Security Disability claim will go before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ).

Can veterans receive both SSD and VA Disability?
Yes. Many veterans are getting both Social Security and Veterans Disability benefits. But remember, SSDI and VA Disability benefits are from different government agencies and they have very different rules and regulations. You may be approved for one benefit and denied the other benefit with the same medical evidence. Some veterans that can’t work might be eligible for both Individual Unemployability and Social Security Disability benefits.
