EVERY DAY YOU WAIT TO APPLY FOR SSD BENEFITS IS A DAY YOU LOSE MONEY

We have won over $100 million in ongoing and past due benefits for our clients. These benefits are not a government handout. You can only qualify for SSDI benefits after years of hard work.

Social Security Disability benefits are not welfare. Instead, they are benefits that you pay for by working and paying taxes. The SSA puts aside  benefits for every person who works. They do this in case you experience a physical or mental condition that stops you from working.

However, your benefits are tied to the day you apply. SSDI benefits have a five month waiting period before benefits begin. The five month waiting period applies to everyone. And, it doesn’t start until you file your SSDI application. SSI benefits, on the other hand, start on the date you file your application. Therefore, it is important to file an application as soon as possible. You should create a My SSA account on the same site.

Past due SSDI benefits can pay out one year prior to the date of application. You can receive past due benefits, as long as you were not working due to your medical condition. Learn about past due SSDI benefits.

If you file for SSI benefits, then SSI benefits begin on the day you apply. This is true even if your mental or physical condition began prior to that date. Therefore, every day you wait to apply is a day you are losing SSDI and SSI benefits.

FILING FOR SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY BENEFITS IS EASY 

Applying is easy. Even if you don’t want to hire an SSDI and SSI lawyer right now, you should still apply for benefits. It is simple. Just start an online application on Social Security’s website.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN REASONS THE SSA DENIES BENEFITS?

• • 1. Is alcohol or drug abuse the real reason you aren’t working?     

       If you abuse drugs or alcohol, then the SSA will examine your medical records to see if you are sober. If you stop using substances are you still unable to return to work? If so, then your problems with substances will not prevent you from winning benefits.

       However, if the SSA finds that drugs or drinking is your main problem, then they will deny your case. You will not win benefits because the SSA does not pay benefits for disability due to drugs or alcohol addiction. Find out how alcohol and drug abuse impacts your SSD claim.

    2. Did you refuse to cooperate with SSA’s requests in your case?     

       Many people fail to submit their medical records to the SSA. This is a mistake. Because the burden of proof is on you to prove you cannot work due a severe medical condition. If you do not submit your medical records to the SSA, then you will not receive benefits. Likewise, if you fail to attend the free SSA doctor exam, then the SSA will deny your benefits. These exams are free to you. Additionally, they provide valuable medical information to the SSA. If you miss the appointment or refuse to go to the exam, then your case will be denied.

    3. Do you have a legal history that stops you from winning Social Security disability benefits?    

       A criminal history does not usually stop you from winning benefits. However, if you sustain an injury while committing a felony, then you cannot win benefits for that injury. For example, if you break your femur and you cannot walk for a year, then the SSA would pay you benefits. However, if you broke your femur during the commission of a felony, then you do not qualify for benefits.

       The same is true if your physical or mental condition becomes worse while you were in jail or prison. You also cannot win benefits if you violate parole. Additionally, if you are in jail or prison you do not qualify for SSI benefits.

    4. Did you lie on your application form?    

       The SSA can bring charges against you if you lie on your application. Therefore, do not lie about anything when you submit your application. The SSA might investigate you. For example, the SSA may send an employee to observe you at your exam with one of their doctors.

       Similarly, they may pretend to be policeman, ring your doorbell, and start asking you questions. They will then write a report about any complaints of pain you made while you were talking to them. They will comment on whether or not you were able to concentrate and answer questions. Likewise, they will state whether or not they could see your physical illness. You may not like the SSA’s approach. However, if they think you are lying, then they will investigate you.

    5. Did you receive a Durational Denial from the SSA?     

       In order to receive SSD benefits, your must not be able to work for longer than 12 months. If you were in a car accident, for example, you may have an injury that will heal within 12 months. If so, then you will not receive benefits. The SSA often states that they think your health will improve prior within 12 months. Then, they deny the case.

       The SSA is not always correct. However, if you try to claim benefits for a broken arm, then you will lose. Because, a broken arm usually heals within 12 weeks. If you are only missing work for a few months, then filing for benefits is not a good choice. SSDI and SSI benefits are for people whose medical conditions prevent them from working all jobs for over 12 months. However, there are special rules for those who are blind. Learn how to apply for SSDI and SSI benefit if you are blind.
