Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SSDI and SSI in Ohio?
SSDI, or Social Security Disability Insurance, is based on your work history and the Social Security taxes you have paid over time. SSI, or Supplemental Security Income, is a needs-based program for people with limited income and resources. Both require proving a qualifying disability under SSA standards.
My Social Security disability application was denied. What can I do?
Most initial applications are denied, but that does not mean your case is over. You can request reconsideration and, if needed, a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. John T Nicholson handles these appeals and can assess the strength of your claim.
Can a personal injury settlement affect my Social Security disability benefits?
It can, depending on the type of benefits you receive. A personal injury settlement may affect SSI eligibility due to income and asset limits, while the impact on SSDI is generally less direct. An attorney who handles both areas can help you navigate this.
How long does it take to get approved for Social Security disability?
The process varies considerably. Initial decisions can take three to six months, and if an appeal or ALJ hearing is needed, the timeline can extend well beyond a year. Working with an attorney from the start can help you avoid procedural delays.
Where is John T Nicholson's office located in Columbus?
His office is at 1041 Dublin Rd, Suite 103, in Columbus, Ohio, on the west side of the city near the Dublin Road corridor.
Does John T Nicholson charge upfront fees for Social Security disability cases?
Social Security disability attorneys are typically paid through a contingency arrangement regulated by the SSA, meaning fees are only collected if your claim is approved. Call (614) 384-5800 to discuss the specifics.
