Carroll County SSD Claims Attorneys
If you have worked for an employer, or paid Social Security taxes within the past 10 years, you are entitled to seek Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) benefits, in the event you are no longer able to earn an income because of an injury, medical disease or mental illness. Filing a successful claim for SSDI claim is often frustrating and confusing, with more than 80 percent of all initial claims denied by the Social Security board because of minor technicalities or a medical condition that the Social Security administration says does not qualify. Winning your case requires experience and strategy.

- Obesity
Different Levels of SSDI Benefits
In most cases, the Social Security Administration will determine whether you are able to work in another line of work, other than your primary job skills or training. If you can earn a living wage in another career, you may still be entitled to receive partial benefits. If you prove you are unable to work in any capacity, you are entitled to seek full benefits.
Social Security Family Benefits
We also represent minor-aged clients who qualify to receive Social Security benefits following the death of the parent.
How Long Will the Process Take?
Under SSDI rules, you are not eligible to begin receiving benefits until you have been unable to work for at least 12 months. But you should not wait that long before applying. Filing an initial claim for federal Social Security benefits isn't a fast process. It is not unusual for the application to take several months to come before the Social Security judge for consideration. As soon as you know you cannot return to work, start the process with an experienced attorney. Your application can be considered, but you will not be eligible for benefits until one year after your last employment date.
