Something that can significantly help your shot at SSDI is hiring a Social Security Disability attorney in West Point
Having an expert working on your claim means having an experienced eye and a master negotiator on your side. Even if your claim has already been denied, Rutter Mills can help.
Dealing with the Unexpected
You may not have planned to retire for many years, but life got in the way. Because you have been diagnosed as totally physically or mentally disabled, you can no longer work and do not know how you will support yourself. You may prove eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), a program run by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to qualifying workers who cannot work for at least one year and are completely disabled.
The West Point Social Security lawyers at Rutter Mills can assist you with your SSDI application from the beginning, or represent you in an appeal if the initial application is denied. For more than 60 years, our dedicated attorneys have helped clients receive the disability benefits they deserve.
Social Security Disability Insurance Eligibility
Only those diagnosed as totally disabled may qualify. The person cannot perform the job they currently have, and the SSA determines whether the individual can work at another job due to their medical status. Conditions limiting the ability of the applicant to do basic tasks, such as walk, stand, or sit, will impact the SSA’s decision. The disability is expected to last at least 12 months or end with the applicant’s death.
You must have sufficient Social Security work credits for eligibility. The amount needed depends upon your age. Usually, you must have at least 40 credits, half of which were earned in the prior 10 years. Credits are earned over the course of your life while working jobs using your social security number.
The amount of income necessary for a work credit changes annually. For example, in 2020, a worker earns one credit for every $1,410 in either wages or self-employment income. Once earnings reach $5,640, the four credits are earned for the year.
How Can I Improve the Odds of Getting Benefits?
Our West Point Social Security disability lawyers will ensure that the application includes all of the information required by the SSA. Many people are denied because their submission did not include relevant medical tests, or they cannot prove they are following their healthcare providers’ treatment plans.
There are legitimate reasons why an applicant cannot follow a treatment plan, such as a mental disability that prevents compliance, or the lack of funds to pay for medical expenses. Under these circumstances, we can make sure the SSA is aware of these legitimate excuses.
