Finding yourself or a family member disabled through injury or illness can throw your world into disarray. How are you going to survive financially? The first thing you need to do is get an SSI or SSDI application in to the social security administration. If you are unsure about any of the aspects of the application process do not hesitate to contact a disability lawyer. Getting the forms filled in correctly from the start could end up saving you a lot of time.

The offices for the social security administration (SSA) for Cordele are located at:

To get a social security disability benefit you need to be incapable of any substantial work for at least 12 months. There is no SSI SSDI pay out for anything less than that. The most severe cases should go through the SSA system without a problem, but the statistics show that around 71% of social security disability benefits are declined at the first application. If this should happen to you, don’t panic. The main thing is that you get your SSI or SSDI appeal in within 60 days. Contact a qualified disability attorney and you will be giving yourself the best chance possible to have your disabled benefits granted.

The SSA will want you to jump through a few hoops before they will declare you disabled. They are bound by a very rigid set of criteria, which is why so many cases have to go to appeal. Experienced disability attorneys (a bit like agility dogs) understand those hoops and can pull you through. Don’t feel discouraged if you get a rejection on the first SSI or SSDI claim you put in, this is normal. We also understand that the last thing you want is another bill when you have no income. Our professional disability attorneys work on a no win, no fee basis and once you do win your case the charges are not as extreme as you may have thought.

While taxes and housing costs are not too extreme in Cordele income levels are not great either for the majority of people. If your income is low enough it makes perfect sense to make sure to apply for SSI (supplemental security income). You don’t have to have worked a day in your life to receive SSI, all you need is to be declared disabled and not have assets or income over a certain level. Talk to a disability lawyer to be sure you get what you are entitled to.

If you have been working, even if it was some time ago, the money you paid to FICA will entitle you to a certain level of insurance. Again, disability insurance lawyers will be able to help you claim what you are entitled to.

Dealing with the red tape of SSA, the DDD and hearings before judges is not something most people are ready for. We have qualified disability advocates in Cordele, Arabi, Vienna, Pitts, Cobb, Warwick, Seville, Lilly, De Soto and the surrounding areas ready to help you with your social security disability benefit.
