Should Ask Questions
Social Security has the toughest standard for determining disability. Not only do you have to be unable to do your past work you also have to be totally disabled meaning unable to do any work at all based on your age. You have to have enough medical evidence that shows that you're totally disabled.
Probably yes. We turn down some claimants who have not been denied yet on an application. Some claimants just simply need to file an application. We turn some cases down because they're clearly disabled and they don't need an attorney - their application will likely be quickly approved.
Usually you want to file an appeal. If you file a new application with the same medical evidence that you had in the prior application you're going to get the same result, a denial.
No. It would be unfair to claimants that don't have an attorney if represented claimants received special processing.
You can improve your chances of winning your claim with medical evidence that shows you are totally disabled. Such as MRI findings, X-rays, CT scans; Treating doctor reports; treatment with medical specialists such as orthopedist, rheumatologist, cardiologist etc.
Well it's certainly not helpful when your doctor doesn't think you're disabled. We would not ask your doctor to complete a disability assessment knowing that they don't think you are disabled.
Probably not. The rules require that you be disabled for at least a continuous 12 month period.
Yes you can apply. But you may be earning too much or working too much to sustain a claim that you are totally disabled.
Yes you can apply. But like for Social Security disability, to get SSI you have to prove with evidence you are disabled.
Yes, self-employed individuals can qualify for SSDI if they’ve paid self-employment taxes (SECA) and earned enough work credits based on their reported net earnings. If you’re unsure about your eligibility, schedule a consultation to review your work history and contributions.
Common reasons for denial include insufficient medical evidence, earning too much income, not following prescribed treatments, lack of work credits, incomplete applications, or Social Security determining your condition doesn’t significantly limit your ability to work. If your claim was denied, contact an experienced disability attorney to strengthen your case.
Non-citizens may qualify for SSDI if they have legal work history and enough work credits. Green card holders, refugees, and asylees are often eligible. SSI has stricter residency requirements, usually needing at least five years of U.S. residency. Contact us today to check your eligibility and discuss your options.
SSI is needs-based, so your household income and assets affect eligibility. If your income exceeds SSI limits, you may not qualify, though certain exclusions apply. A disability attorney can review your financial situation to determine your SSI eligibility.
Bring detailed medical records, work history, denial letters (if any), and a list of medications and treatments. The more information you provide, the better your attorney can evaluate your case and build a strong strategy. Schedule your consultation today to get started.
SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) is designed for people who have worked and paid Social Security taxes but are now unable to work due to a disability. SSDI provides monthly payments based on your previous earnings and work credits. It is not income-based but instead depends on your employment history and disability status.
SSI (Supplemental Security Income), on the other hand, is a needs-based program that supports individuals who are elderly, blind, or disabled and have limited income and resources. SSI helps cover basic needs like food, housing, and utilities regardless of work history.
If you’re unsure which program you qualify for, contact the Disability Law Offices of Tony Adderley today. We can review your situation and guide you toward the benefits you deserve.
