SSD Lawyers

Most people expect that Social Security will serve as part of their retirement income. However, a significant percentage of the workforce will find themselves disabled long before their retirement date. If you are experiencing a disability or illness that takes you out of the workforce, you may qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), a form of early retirement benefits.

What to Expect

Even under the best of circumstances, the majority of applications for SSDI are initially denied. The application process is complicated, and those going it alone often make mistakes. Hiring an attorney to represent you increases the odds of having the application approved.

Keep in mind that even appeals are often denied, but there is the option of appearing before an Administrative Law Judge to argue the case. At this point, medical records are reviewed, testimony is given, and your attorney has the opportunity to cross-examine witnesses.

The Virginia Beach Social Security lawyers at Rutter Mills can ensure your claim is filed appropriately or appeal a claim denial. We prepare clients for their appearance before an Administrative Law Judge and guide them every step of the way.

What to know about Social Security

Only those who are completely disabled qualify for SSDI. The disability is either expected to last a minimum of one year or until the person dies. There is no funding for short-term or partial disability.

The applicant must also show they have the appropriate number of Social Security credits for eligibility. Anyone who has worked for five out of the past ten years should have accrued enough Social Security work credits to qualify.

The claimant must prove that they cannot perform the type of job formerly held due to the complete disability. The person cannot take on other types of employment due to their age, skill level, education, prior work history, or the physical or mental impairment with which they were diagnosed.

Low-income people who are ineligible for SSDI may still qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). This program is based entirely on financial need and is available to those who are blind or totally disabled, or over 65, with limited income and resources. The current resource limit is $2,000 per person or $3,000 for a married couple. SSI funds pay for food, shelter, and clothing.

Our Virginia Beach lawyers for Social Security disability can determine whether a client qualifies for SSI based on their income and personal assets.

What I loved about my Rutter Mills experience was the team approach they provided from start to finish. The paralegal Selena D. was always keeping me updated and accurately collecting information to make sure my case was on a strong foundation. My attorney, Adam Lotkin raises the bar to the highest standard. Adam's knowledge, experience, and grit afforded me the strongest settlement in my case. Top 1% settlement is the best way to describe it. Your attorney matters and I am so glad I choose Rutter Mills, Adam Lotkin, and team to represent my case. I will use Rutter Mills again for my future needs.

Adam Lotkin, Max Baker, and the team behind them are amazing people. They did a great job with communicating and explaining each step of the process and they do the absolute best in ensuring their clients are taken care of. For my case in specific, we expected to wait 2 year to settle l, but through the team’s hard work and a little luck, it was settled in less than a year. I would not hesitate to come back to them if I ever needed to.

Dorian F.

Joe Young and Kathy Saunders were the absolute best. They kept me informed and properly communicated all information with me in a timely manner. They also were able to get me the amount I requested without going back and forth with me. They were a true pleasure to work with and for this reason I will continue to do business with Rutter Mills.
