Questions
What qualifies as a disability under Social Security?
Social Security requires inability to perform substantial work due to medical conditions lasting 12+ months or resulting in death.
What should I do if my benefits get denied?
Most initial applications get denied. Contact us for free consultation to appeal denials at any stage of the process.
How does disability differ from SSI?
Disability requires work history contributions, while SSI considers income and assets. We help determine eligibility for both programs.
Can I work while receiving disability benefits?
You cannot earn more than $1,000/month gross through substantial work. Part-time work under $800/month generally maintains eligibility.
How long does approval typically take?
Cases often take nine months or longer when reaching hearing stage. We work to expedite processes while maintaining thorough documentation.
