Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) pays benefits to you and certain
members of your family if you are "insured", meaning that you worked long enough and
paid Social Security taxes into the system. The amount of the monthly payment you
may receive is calculated based upon how much and how long you paid social security
taxes before becoming unable to work.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI), on the other hand, pays benefits based on
financial need, regardless of whether you have ever worked or paid social security
taxes. This is a "needs based" system, that assists persons in extreme financial need,
who have very little personal money or assets.
Your social security disability lawyer can explain to you the important details of these
programs, and how your situation will be treated by the system.
Contingent / Percentage Fees: Our Social Security law firm operates exclusively on
a contingent fee basis. We have to obtain disability benefits for you in order to be
compensated for our services. You will not have to be concerned about attorney fees
during this time of your life when you are unable to work.
Free Initial Consultation: There is no fee or charge for you to meet at our office for an
inital consulation to discuss your situation.
Representing yourself? Of course you have the option to represent yourself in your
claim. However, there is little doubt that your chances of winning disability benefits are
better when your claim is represented by a Social Security Disability Lawyer. Whether
your claim is at the Initial Level, Reconsideration or scheduled for a hearing before a
Judge, an experienced disability lawyer can help present your case in the way that
most clearly demonstrates that you are disabled in the way that is recognized by Social
Security Disability law.
Having an attorney at the outset, helping you with your application and initial
submission of evidence, gives you a much better chance of having your claim
approved at the initial determination. An experienced Social Security Disability
attorney will guide you through your initial inteview and help you communicate with your
doctors to document your medical with the kind of information the initial evaluators
need to find in your favor. If you wait until the appeal process to tell your story properly,
you may be waiting a year and a half to finally appear before a Social Security Appeal
judge at a hearing.
Documenting your Disability: Your medical and work history, as well as the
difficulties you have dealing with the ordinary details and stresses of life, form the basis
for your application for disability benefits. Therefore, you should take charge of
documenting your story.

Keep a Diary: As you look toward filing for social security disability
benefits, you should write down your experiences and difficulties with work
and the activities of daily living that you have, and are, dealing with.
Ordinary examples of impaired function help tell your story, and you may
forget many of the detals as time goes by.
Medical documentation: If you are able, continue to see your treating
physicians on a regular basis, as often a lack of treatment is inferred to
mean that your condition is not too severe. And in this regard, be sure to
descibe to your doctors all of your impairments and symptoms in a way
that he can record specific details, such as pain levels, inability to sit or
stand for specific periods of time, difficulty with certain lifting or carrying,
postural limitations, etc. Try to quantify your physical limitations in terms of
time, weight, duration, distance, etc. The SSA places great weight on
such details as it assesses your ability to perform specific kinds of work
activity.
