Providing Social Security Disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Representation

The SSD Process: What to Expect

The SSD Process

If you are applying for Social Security Disability or Supplemental Security Income for the first time, there are a few things you should know. For starters, you should know that the application process can be a lengthy process. The sooner you can contact a lawyer, the better.

You should also know that most initial applications are denied. Some reports indicate that as many as 75 percent of all initial applications are denied. The thing that many people do not know, however, is that most people do ultimately get the SSDI or SSI benefits they need if they keep fighting; approximately 60 percent of applicants receive benefits at the Administrative Appeals level.

Eligibility Requirements

If you need help and do not know if you are eligible for government benefits, contact an attorney who can advise you of your rights. You may be eligible for benefits if a physical impairment or mental disability has impaired your ability to work. Even if you have never worked or paid into the Social Security system, you may be eligible for SSI benefits.
