Georgia Social Security Disability Claims Call for Tough-Minded Representation
At the Eichholz Law Firm, we work hard to help Georgians pursue Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) claims. If you need solid advice or if your claim was denied, contact our firm for a free consultation. An experienced SSDI attorney can work aggressively to make sure you get the full compensation you are entitled to receive.
If you are injured and unable to work, you may be able to pursue Social Security Disability Insurance benefits. The SSDI program provides monthly benefits to those younger than retirement age and who have worked long enough to qualify for benefits. If you have not paid into the SSDI program, you may qualify for Supplemental Security Income benefits.
Most Social Security Disability Claims Are Denied
More than 2.5 million people apply for SSDI benefits each year. The Social Security Administration denies most initial SSDI claims, but you still have options if your claim was denied. After the initial denial, you will need to take a series of steps to get your case reconsidered before the appeal process closes.
Your chances of obtaining benefits are good if you have sustained severe injuries or have disabilities or conditions that that have prevented you from working for 12 months, and you lack the capacity to perform work during this period. A candidate for Social Security Disability benefits also should have worked long enough (usually for five out of the last 10 years) in a job that is covered under the provisions of the Social Security Act.
Pursuing an SSDI claim on your own can be difficult. It's easy to make an application mistake. Do not hesitate to contact an experienced SSDI attorney for assistance. It's important to be prepared when pursuing a Social Security Disability claim. In our experience, we find most people have little or no idea how to properly and thoroughly prepare for a disability hearing and especially an appeal.
