Help With SSDI and SSI Claims in Chattanooga
Social Security provides two primary disability benefit programs. The program that applies to you depends on factors such as your work history, financial circumstances, and disability.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is available to eligible workers who have earned enough qualifying work credits and meet Social Security’s definition of disability.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) provides benefits to eligible people with limited income and resources who are disabled, blind, or age 65 or older. SSI does not require the same qualifying work history as SSDI.
If you are unsure which program you may qualify for, our disability attorneys can review your circumstances and help you understand your options.
Do You Qualify for Social Security Disability Benefits?
A diagnosis alone does not automatically qualify someone for disability benefits. Social Security generally looks for evidence that your condition keeps you from doing substantial work and will continue for at least a year or is expected to result in death.
The SSA may also consider your medical limitations, age, education, and work history. Miller Disability Law, P.C. assists people with a wide range of physical and mental impairments and can help identify the evidence that may be important to your claim.
How Our Chattanooga Disability Lawyers Can Help
A disability claim involves more than submitting a diagnosis. Social Security needs detailed information about your medical treatment, work history, symptoms, and how your condition limits what you can do.
Our team provides help throughout the claims process, including:
- Completing and filing Social Security forms
- Explaining what information the SSA is requesting
- Gathering and organizing medical documentation
- Developing evidence showing how a condition affects the ability to work
- Keeping track of important claim deadlines
- Preparing for disability hearings
- Appealing denied SSDI and SSI claims
Our team can help gather and develop medical evidence that reflects your symptoms, limitations, and treatment history. Medical records should show more than a diagnosis. They should also help explain how your condition affects your ability to work.
Our goal is to make the process easier to understand while helping you provide Social Security with complete and accurate information about your disability.
What If Your Disability Claim Was Denied?
Your claim isn’t necessarily over when you receive a denial. You may have the right to appeal the decision, but Social Security has deadlines for the appeals process.
Our Social Security Disability attorneys in Chattanooga help residents review denied claims and determine the best next steps. If additional medical evidence is needed, we can help develop the record and prepare the case for further review.
When a claim proceeds to a disability hearing with an Administrative Law Judge, we help clients prepare for questions about their medical condition, treatment, work history, and day-to-day limitations.
