People can be affected by all number of illnesses and injuries that result in either temporary or permanent disability. To be declared disabled by the SSA a disability needs to be severe enough to prevent a person being able to ‘perform any substantial gainful activity’ for a period of at least 12 months. Some people may be able to take on some form of employment and still qualify for SSI SSDI but there is a low set minimum amount.

When you make an SSI or SSDI application the SSA will require specific medical evidence of your condition and probably vocational evidence as well. You may even be asked to have certain medical tests performed, or redone – this is usually arranged at no extra cost to yourself. The criteria for receiving social security disability benefits are very strict and a great many people find they will need to make an appeal.

Preparing for and going through a social security administration benefits hearing can be an overwhelming and often confusing experience. If you miss out any vital information or your documentation is not up to date and complete you will probably be turned down and another hearing date set. When you are trying to cope on a limited income waiting is the last thing you want to be doing. Disability attorneys are professionals who understand the system and so can ensure you have the maximum chance of winning your SSI SSDI appeal.
