McCreary County Social Security Disability Attorneys
Social Security disability benefits are available for individuals who are unable to work because of a disabling condition. However, obtaining disability benefits can be a lengthy and challenging process.
The Social Security Administration has strict requirements and rules for applying for benefits. A simple mistake or error could result in a delay in disability benefits or a denial of your disability claim. If your Social Security disability claim is denied and you fail to appeal the decision, you would need to file a new application and start over.
The McCreary County Social Security disability lawyers at Baird, Blevins, & Lowe Law Offices, PLLC, can help you with your disability application, and appeals of disability claims. Contact us now for a free consultation to discuss your disability benefits.
What Are Social Security Disability Benefits?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) handles disability claims for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). Both programs pay disability benefits to people who cannot work, but the programs are slightly different.
Supplemental Security Income or SSI is a program for low-income individuals who are unable to work because of a disabling condition. To receive benefits for this program, you must prove that your disability prevents you from working, and meet income and asset requirements.
Social Security Disability Insurance or SSDI is a program for workers who become disabled. For SSDI benefits, you must also prove that your disability prevents you from working. You must also have worked long enough to earn the required work credits to be eligible for SSDI benefits.
