Social Security Disability Attorney in Gainesville, Georgia

A Gainesville SSI/SSD Lawyer can help you get the Benefits you need.

Do you need to apply for a social security disability benefit, or have you recently had your SSI SSDI claim rejected? You may have already discovered that getting SSA (Social Security Administration) assistance is a rather complex procedure. Many people have also discovered that their best chances for success lie in employing a qualified disability attorney.

The SSA offices for Gainesville are located at:


The Social Security Administration can also be contacted through their national toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213.
Filing for your SSI or SSDI claim should be done as quickly, and accurately, as possible. While there is no waiting time to receive SSI there is a 5 month stand down time for SSDI applications. Apart from the stand down period it can take months or even years to fulfill all the SSA obligations to have your self declared disabled and begin receiving disabled benefits. There is no time to delay. Even if you are not sure whether you would be entitled for a social security disability benefit go ahead and start the application process anyway. A reputable disability attorney can help you both in the initial application stage and later on if your case goes to appeal (which over 70% of cases do).

Statistics show that the older you are (before retirement age) the easier it is to have your SSI SSDI application approved. This is because you it is generally easier to show the SSA that you would not be able to be easily retrained to work in another position that your disability may allow. Of course this is dependent on your particular disability and its severity.

Some people wonder if they are able to work while waiting for their SSI SSDI claim. It is very difficult to survive on no income especially if you have a family to support. Whether or not you can do some sort of work while waiting for, or while receiving a benefit really depends. As a general rule it is probably not a good idea, especially if you have an SSDI appeal pending (More info here).
