More About Our Main Practice Areas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Social Security Disability & SSI: How the Process Works<\/summary>\n

We represent people in both Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) cases. There is no charge to the client unless we get you back benefits. We work directly with Social Security from applying online through an Administrative Law Judge hearing, if that is necessary to get you benefits. We use many ways to stay in touch with clients through the months or years that it takes to get benefits for you. We offer home visits in some cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process for applying for Social Security Disability is long and complicated, but we have experience with the entire process and can help you through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applying.<\/strong> You can apply by calling Social Security or online, and we can assist you with the application. You will need a lot of information, such as the names and addresses of your medical providers, and we can help you gather it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consultative examination.<\/strong> Social Security may ask you to see a doctor they choose. This is a normal part of the process. The exam is often 40 or 50 miles from where you live, and we can provide transportation if you do not have it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Showing you are disabled under Social Security’s rules.<\/strong> Social Security has many rules and regulations for deciding if you are disabled. We know them, and we will write a detailed explanation to Social Security showing why you are disabled under their rules. Two of these rules are “the Grids” and “the Listings.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
