Questions
What SSD benefits can I qualify for?
SSD benefits provide monthly payments for work-related disabilities preventing substantial gainful activity. Eligibility depends on work credits and medical evidence proving inability to work.
How do SSI and SSDI differ?
SSI assists low-income individuals with disabilities regardless of work history, while SSDI requires work credits. Benefit amounts and eligibility criteria differ significantly between these programs.
What happens if my claim gets denied?
Most initial claims get denied. We handle appeals at all levels, including administrative hearings and federal court litigation, with a 90% success rate in represented cases.
Do you handle Compassionate Allowance cases?
Yes, we identify qualifying severe conditions eligible for expedited processing through the SSA's Compassionate Allowances program to accelerate benefit approvals.
How are attorney fees structured?
We work on contingency—no fees unless we win. Fees are capped at 25% of back benefits by SSA regulations, with no upfront costs required.
