Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?
SSDI, or Social Security Disability Insurance, is based on your work history and the Social Security taxes you have paid. SSI, or Supplemental Security Income, is a needs-based program for individuals with limited income and resources, regardless of work history.
Where is Donald Peters Law Office located?
The office is at 18831 W. 12 Mile Road in Lathrup Village, Michigan, which is easy to reach for clients in Southfield, Oak Park, and throughout Oakland County.
Does Donald Peters handle Social Security overpayment disputes?
Yes. Social Security overpayment notices can be a serious problem for disability recipients, and the firm can assist with contesting overpayment determinations or requesting waivers.
What happens if my case needs to go to the Appeals Council?
If an Administrative Law Judge denies your claim, you have the right to request review by the Social Security Appeals Council. Attorney Peters can prepare and submit this request and argue why the lower decision should be reconsidered.
How do I know if I qualify for Social Security disability benefits?
Qualification depends on factors including the severity of your medical condition, how long it is expected to last, and whether it prevents you from performing substantial gainful work. An attorney can review your situation and give you an honest assessment.
Is there a deadline to appeal a Social Security disability denial?
Yes. The Social Security Administration sets strict deadlines at each stage of the appeals process, typically 60 days from the date of the denial notice. Missing these deadlines can mean starting over, so it is important to act promptly.
