Questions
What is the difference between SSI and SSDI?
SSI is need-based with income/asset limits, while SSDI requires work history. Both require disability proof but differ in funding and eligibility criteria.
How long does a disability appeal take in Nevada?
Initial decisions take 3-5 months. Appeals with hearings may extend to 12+ months, depending on case complexity and SSA backlog.
Do I need a lawyer for my SSD hearing?
Legal representation significantly improves approval rates. Our attorneys prepare evidence, strategize testimony, and navigate procedural requirements effectively.
What qualifies as a severe impairment for SSD benefits?
Severe impairments must prevent substantial work for 12+ months, supported by medical records showing functional limitations and treatment history.
Can I work while receiving SSD benefits?
Substantial gainful activity may disqualify claims. We help assess work limitations and advise on permissible income levels during the application process.
