Questions
What qualifies as a disability for SSD benefits?
The SSA requires medical documentation showing inability to perform substantial gainful activity due to physical or mental conditions expected to last at least 12 months or result in death.
How much does a disability lawyer cost?
Our services operate on a contingency basis - you pay nothing unless we win your case. Fees are typically 25% of back benefits awarded, capped at $6,000 by SSA regulations.
Can I work while applying for SSD?
Limited work activity is allowed through trial work periods. Exceeding substantial gainful activity levels ($1,450/month in 2023) may affect eligibility determination for Social Security Disability benefits.
How long does the disability process take?
Initial decisions typically take 90-120 days. Denied claims progressing through reconsideration (4-6 months) and administrative hearings (12-18 months) extend timelines. Expedited processing may apply for severe conditions.
What's the difference between SSD and SSI?
SSD requires work credits from prior employment, while SSI is needs-based with income and asset limits. Both programs use the same medical eligibility criteria but differ in financial requirements and benefit amounts.
How can I improve my approval chances?
Submit complete medical records, follow treatment plans, avoid work activity exceeding limits, and consult an experienced attorney early. Proper documentation of functional limitations significantly strengthens claims.
