If you’ve suffered from any type of injury, disability, or illness that has already kept you out of work for over a year or likely will, then you may qualify for benefits. Known as Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), these benefits are meant to help ensure you can meet your basic living expenses while you’re recovering.
The bad news is that though the government makes it very easy to be responsible for paying for the Social Security program, it’s not always so easy to get the benefits you need. As a result, we recommend working with an experienced SSDI attorney to prepare your application and / or appeal. Keep reading to learn more and then contact The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker at 800-333-0000 for a free legal consultation.
We are here to guide you through the process
There’s no way around it: Applying for SSDI can be complicated and confusing. We know how overwhelming it can be, especially when you’re already dealing with a medical condition. This is just one of the reasons that you should let a qualified attorney take care of it for you.
We can help with your claim from the first step to the last. Our services include determining if you qualify for benefits, helping you gather the documentation needed to support your application, filing all paperwork, ensuring that every deadline is met, and assisting you in getting medical benefits. If the claim is denied then we can appeal it. We can also represent you at any administrative law judge hearings.
You could file your own SSDI application but we don’t recommend it
Of course, one of the first questions a person often has is why they can’t just file their SSDI application themselves. You’re certainly welcome to do so, but remember that a person who’s not familiar with this process is likely to make mistakes. If you make the wrong mistake, you could end up having your benefits denied entirely, if not at least seriously delayed.
Common mistakes people make when they aren’t familiar with all the ins and outs include getting dates wrong, using the wrong code numbers, using the wrong ID numbers, leaving out medical details, making errors when offering financial information, and not including their entire work history when requested to do so. Even a type can slow down the timeframe in which the application is processed. When this happens, you may end up waiting weeks or even months longer than you have to.
