A Fresno SSDI Lawyer Can Help File For Disability Benefits

It is a common misconception that a person must be totally disabled to qualify for disability benefits, but this is not the case. If your disability or medical illness is expected to last at least twelve months or more, you may qualify. Another misconception is social security disability benefits are affected by how much money you have in the bank or by the property or possessions you own. This is also untrue, although there are two separate programs for disability benefits.

SSDI, or Social Security Disability Insurance, is insurance for the working people who have paid Social Security taxes in their working life. This is the chunk of change that is reduced from your paycheck and sent to the government and can be available to people under 65 who have suffered a job loss due to a medical condition or illness. SSI, or Supplemental Security Income, is a program funded by general tax revenue, and is calculated depending on your income and possessions. They are two separate programs, but the one thing they have in common is in order to receive disability benefits, you have to prove you are disabled and unable to work.
Some conditions may get a quicker decision than others, but all-in-all proving your disability case to the Social Security Administration for benefits is a long and often frustrating process. A trained disability lawyer can help you gather the required information, speak with doctors about what is necessary, and keep track of important deadlines and the paperwork needed to get your disability claim approved for benefits.
