San Diego SSD Claim Attorneys. We Help You Obtain SSDI Benefits
If you are working, whether as your own boss or as an employee, a specific amount of your earnings are deducted for Social Security. This money goes into the Social Security pool. Every year, the Social Security Administration prints out a green and white document that states what you have paid into the system in Social Security and what your disability benefits would be if you become disabled before the age of retirement. They inform every individual annually of his or her contributions to Social Security.

Conditions That Qualify for Benefits
If you become disabled, whether because of a genetic condition, an accident, a mental disorder, a physical impairment or a chronic impairment, you may be entitled to Social Security Disability (SSDI) benefits. Even if you have not contributed to the Social Security pool, the government provides benefits for people in your situation through the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims process.
Getting SSDI Benefits
Getting benefits seems like it should be a relatively straightforward thing, right? Wrong. Getting benefits is a cumbersome process that is confusing and frustrating and leaves many people giving up without getting benefits, even though they have a legal right to them.
Operating from offices in Fullerton, San Diego and Mission Viejo, Benjamin H. Berkley and his staff at The Berkley Law Firm assists clients in Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego County and throughout Southern California in pursuing Social Security Disability and Supplement Security Income benefits and through the appeals process. We know the process; we know the law; we know how to help.
Requirements
To obtain Social Security Disability insurance, you must have worked at least twenty calendar quarters or five years within the last forty calendar quarters, i.e. ten years before your disability began, with certain exceptions.
Obtain Medical Evidence
Keep track of all the doctors that you see and save your medical records. We understand that in some instances this can be difficult, especially if you are unable to afford medical care. The challenge is that the Social Security Examiner may argue that if you have not been to the doctor your condition is not serious enough to grant8 benefits. You may have a better chance of obtaining SSD if you continue seeing your doctor during your application process.
