Longwood Lawyer Helping You With Your Social Security Disability Claim

In order to qualify for payments through the federal Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program, you must meet two requirements:

  • First and foremost, you must have worked a minimum of five out of the previous 10 years and paid into the SSDI system through paycheck deductions, or paid in directly, if you were self-employed.
  • Second, the Social Security Administration (SSA) must determine that you have paid enough into the system, based on lifetime earnings.

We assist clients in the Orlando metropolitan area and throughout Central Florida, including Seminole, Orange and Osceola counties. Please call 407-278-8418 or complete our contact form to schedule a free consultation about your disability benefits.

Why Are So Many Initial Claims Denied?

If you tried to apply on your own, but your application was rejected, don’t be discouraged. It is important to note that the vast majority of claims are initially denied. In many cases, the application was rejected based on missing or incorrect information. It is immensely important to keep an initial application alive instead of filing a new one. With an initial application alive, it is possible to obtain past-due benefits that can be calculated going back one year prior to application.

Without providing the correct information, particularly in the appeals stages and beyond, it is a guarantee that a claim will be denied.
