If you or a loved one have suffered from an illness or injury and are unable to work for at least 12 consecutive months, you may be entitled to receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

You can simply apply for these benefits online via the Social Security Administration’s website or by visiting your local Social Security office. But actually receiving these benefits can be far from simple, with nearly 70 percent of initial applications being denied each year. Many of these claims are denied because they do not contain enough information for your claim to be approved.

Having your claim denied does not mean that your claim is invalid. If you have been denied from receiving Social Security benefits, you should strongly consider hiring an experienced Social Security Disability law firm. Statistics from the Social Security Administration (SSA) show that rates of approval greatly improve for those with legal representation. A lawyer who is well versed in the policies and procedures of the SSA can ensure your claim is correctly filled out and contains the correct medical documentation.
