Social Security Disability Attorney in Bradenton

To qualify for SSDI benefits, you must have what the Social Security Administration calls a “total disability.” This means that you cannot work because of a medical condition that’s expected to last at least one year or result in death. 

The SSA generally recognizes the following disabilities and conditions: musculoskeletal system disorders, immune system disorders, digestive tract problems, mental disorders, neurological disorders, cancer, hearing loss, vision loss, and speech loss.

In addition to meeting the SSA’s definition of disability, you must also meet its earnings and work history requirements to be eligible for benefits. In other words, you must have worked long enough to qualify for disability benefits. The years of work needed will depend on at what age you became disabled.

Because the SSDI process can be complex and confusing, an attorney may give your best chance at obtaining benefits, particularly if your initial disability claim has been denied despite your eligibility. 

An attorney can help determine if you have been wrongly denied benefits. There are a number of administrative and procedural reasons why the SSA could deny an otherwise valid claim.

If your disability claim has been denied, you will need to appeal the decision. An attorney can prepare an appeal on your behalf, as well as represent you at an appeals hearing and present evidence in support of your claim to an administrative law judge.
