Social Security Disability (SSDI)
If you are applying for social security disability benefits, you may benefit by retaining an attorney to help you with your claim. The social security law is difficult to understand and to follow. An attorney who is familiar with the rules may be what you need to be successful. Many claimants assume that because they have medical problems that they should be eligible for disability benefits. A doctor may tell a claimant that they are disabled. Claimants do not always understand that those benefits are only available if your medical problems meet the requirements of the Social Security Act. An attorney knows those requirements and can make sure that all of your medical problems are presented to the Court in line with the Act.
SSI / Supplemental Security Income
You may be eligible for SSDI, or Social Security Disability, if you have paid into the system through payroll withholdings during your working life. These benefits are based upon your medical disability. If you have not worked, or have not worked recently, you may be eligible for SSI, which is Supplemental Security Income. This is based upon your medical disability and your financial needs.
Workshops/Seminars
