What is Social Security Disability

Sometimes things get in the way of being able to work. When those things are medical conditions or a disability, SSDI and SSI are there to help make life a little easier. SSDI, or Social Security Disability insurance, offers benefits to those who have worked both recently enough and long enough to qualify as insured within the program. SSI, or Supplemental Security Income, offers benefits to those who meet the financial need-based requirements. Regardless of which bracket you fall under, if you meet certain medical criteria and believe you have a claim, you should contact an experienced Social Security Disability lawyer to help explain your options.

Therefore, having an attorney in your corner isn’t just the path of least resistance, but also the wiser path for those serious about receiving benefits.

Who Qualifies for Social Security Disability

To qualify for Social Security Disability, you need to meet a certain medical threshold—either by demonstrating an inability to perform substantial gainful activity or by meeting medical criteria outlined by the Social Security Administration in an acknowledged condition.While most qualify through proving that they cannot perform substantial gainful activity, it is possible you could automatically qualify if you meet the medical criteria for one of these conditions: Lupus, Cancer, Chronic Liver Failure, Diabetes, Congestive Heart Failure, Cystic Fibrosis, etc. For more conditions listed by the Social Security Administration, click here.Remember, if you are unsure whether you qualify but suspect that you might, the best next step for you in consulting an attorney.

Why Are People Denied Social Security Disability

The Social Security Administration faces a large caseload and because of this they are very particular in what they are looking for in an applicant. What can seem like a small factor missing from your claim will ring as a reason for denial from the SSA. This is why it is important that you meet with your physicians regularly and pursue treatment for your condition throughout the process of applying. This will give you ample medical evidence to show the SSA.Some factors that will receive a denial from the SSA include lack of medical evidence, ongoing drug or alcohol use, short term duration of condition, fraud, and conviction.If you are unsure whether you will qualify or simply want help determining your chances and best steps forward in claiming Social Security Disability, we recommend that you speak with one of our Hoglund Law attorneys who will be able to lead you in the right direction.
