Social Security Disability Insurance – SSDI

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a federal program designed to provide essential assistance to individuals with disabilities that render them incapable of maintaining gainful employment. Navigating the intricate landscape of SSDI claims demands a comprehensive understanding of the program’s intricacies and requirements. At Ligori & Ligori Attorneys at Law, we have years of experience advocating for individuals seeking SSDI benefits. We are committed to ensuring that our clients receive the full scope of benefits to which they are rightfully entitled. From initial consultations to the final resolution of claims, our dedicated team is steadfast in our pursuit of justice and equitable outcomes for those confronting the challenges posed by disabling conditions. With a steadfast dedication to client advocacy and a proven track record of success, we stand ready to provide the guidance and support necessary to navigate the complexities of the SSDI claims process with confidence and assurance.

Understanding SSDI: Definition and Eligibility

SSDI is part of the Social Security program that provides financial assistance to people who have a disability that prevents them from working. To qualify for SSDI, individuals must have a medical condition that meets the Social Security Administration’s definition of disability. Generally, this means the disability is severe enough to prevent any gainful employment and is expected to last at least one year or result in death.

Key Qualification Criteria for SSDI

To be eligible for SSDI, applicants must meet specific criteria:

  • Suffer from a disability that prevents them from working.
  • Have a work history where they paid into Social Security, typically having worked 5 of the last 10 years.
  • Seek medical treatment for their disability within a year of applying for SSDI.

The Importance of Legal Representation

Many SSDI claims are initially denied, often due to insufficient evidence or improperly filed claims. Having an experienced personal injury lawyer, like those at Ligori & Ligori Attorneys at Law, significantly increases the likelihood of a successful claim. Our lawyers are adept at appealing denied claims and presenting compelling cases at Administrative Law Judge Hearings.

Our Tampa Attorneys are proud to help you navigate the following Key Aspects of SSDI and SSI Claims:

The Appeals Process: Overturning Denied Claims

If your SSDI claim is denied, it’s crucial to act quickly. Applicants have 60 days from the date of denial to file an appeal. Our attorneys are experienced in handling these appeals, offering the best chance to overturn the denial. We meticulously prepare for Administrative Law Judge Hearings, where we present your case to a judge who can potentially reverse the decision.
