Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?

SSDI is based on your work history and Social Security credits, while SSI is a need-based program for individuals with limited income and resources. Nelson Law Group can help you determine which program you may qualify for and guide your application accordingly.

How long does the disability claims process typically take?

Initial applications usually take three to five months for a decision, though approval rates are low at this stage. If denied, the appeals process can take significantly longer. Nelson Law Group works to expedite your case and build the strongest possible record.

Do I need a lawyer to apply for disability benefits?

While you can apply without representation, having an attorney significantly increases your chances of approval. Nelson Law Group's experience with both disability law and employment matters helps clients present their strongest case.
