Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SSDI and SSI, and which one should I apply for?
SSDI is based on your work history and the Social Security taxes you have paid, while SSI is a need-based program for people with limited income and resources. Some clients qualify for both. Laura S. Jenkins can review your situation and help you determine which program or programs apply to you.
My Social Security disability claim was denied. Can Laura S. Jenkins still help me?
Yes. Many disability claims are denied at the initial stage, and the appeals process is where many claimants ultimately succeed. The firm can review your denial, help you understand why it was issued, and represent you through the reconsideration and hearing stages.
Can my workers compensation injury qualify me for Social Security disability benefits?
Possibly. If a workplace injury has left you unable to work for at least 12 months or is expected to result in death, you may meet the SSA's definition of disability. Laura S. Jenkins handles both workers compensation and Social Security law, so she can advise you on how the two programs interact.
How long does the Social Security disability process typically take in North Carolina?
The timeline varies depending on the stage of the process. Initial applications can take three to six months for a decision, and if a hearing before an administrative law judge is required, the wait can be longer. An attorney can help ensure your file is complete and your case is as strong as possible to avoid unnecessary delays.
Where is Laura S. Jenkins located in Raleigh?
The firm is located at 178 Mine Lake Court, Suite 100 in Raleigh, situated in a professional office park in North Raleigh that is accessible from major routes throughout Wake County.
Does Laura S. Jenkins also handle personal injury cases unrelated to workers compensation?
Yes. In addition to workers compensation and Social Security disability, the firm handles personal injury cases, which can include situations like vehicle accidents or other incidents where someone else's negligence caused injury to the client.
