Frequently Asked Questions

What should I bring when I first contact d'Oliveira & Associates about a disability claim?
It helps to have any denial letters from Social Security, medical records related to your condition, your work history, and information about your treating physicians, though the firm can help you gather documentation you may be missing.
Can d'Oliveira & Associates help with both SSDI and SSI claims?
Yes, the firm handles both Social Security Disability Insurance for workers with sufficient work credits and Supplemental Security Income for lower-income individuals, and can help determine which program or combination of programs applies to your situation.
How long does the Social Security disability process typically take in Rhode Island?
Timelines vary, but initial decisions can take several months, and if you need to appeal to an Administrative Law Judge, wait times for hearings in Rhode Island can extend the process further, which is one reason having legal representation early can be important.
Does d'Oliveira & Associates handle personal injury cases in addition to disability law?
Yes, the firm is also listed under personal injury law and can assist clients who have been hurt in accidents or other incidents, including situations where an injury has led to a disability claim.
Is the Johnston office convenient for clients from Providence or Cranston?
The office at 1395 Atwood Ave in Johnston is located close to Providence and Cranston, making it a practical option for clients from those communities and much of central Rhode Island.
What happens if my disability claim is denied more than once?
If your claim has been denied at the initial level and on reconsideration, you have the right to request a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, and d'Oliveira & Associates can represent you through that process and beyond if necessary.
