We Can Help At Any Stage Of Your Case
Frequently Asked Questions About Social Security Disability (SSD) Benefits
Am I eligible for Social Security Disability?
You must have a qualifying work history and a medical condition that prevents you from performing substantial gainful work. We evaluate your case and help coordinate SSD with your workers’ compensation claim.
What conditions qualify?
We handle a wide range of physical, mental, and chronic conditions, including those stemming from workplace injuries, illnesses, and accidents.
How do your fees work for SSD cases?
We charge a contingency fee (typically a capped percentage of back benefits) only if we win your case. There is never an upfront cost.
After I file my initial application for SSD, how long does a decision take?
Initial decisions often come in 3–6 months, but many cases require appeals and hearings. We manage the entire process and represent you at every level to improve your chances of approval.
What are my chances of getting approved at the initial stage?
Over 70% of initial applications are denied. Approval chances increase significantly with strong medical evidence and experienced representation at the hearing level.
Additional Common Questions
Can I work while receiving SSD benefits?
There are strict rules regarding substantial gainful activity. We advise you on trial work periods and what earnings are allowed without jeopardizing benefits.
How does SSD interact with my workers’ compensation benefits?
We help coordinate the two so you receive the maximum combined benefits while complying with offset rules.
What if my SSD application is denied?
We handle appeals and represent you at hearings before an Administrative Law Judge, where most of our clients ultimately succeed.
