Frequently Asked Questions

Does Nowell S Lesser Attorney At Law handle cases that have already been denied?
Yes. The firm represents clients at the appeals and hearing stages, which is where many disability cases are ultimately resolved. A denial at the initial stage is not the end of the road.
What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?
SSDI is based on your work history and the Social Security taxes you have paid over your career. SSI is a needs-based program for individuals with limited income and resources. Some applicants qualify for both, and the firm can help determine which programs apply to your situation.
Can I file for both Social Security disability and workers compensation at the same time?
Yes, and it is actually common for injured workers to pursue both. However, receiving workers comp benefits can affect the amount of SSDI you receive due to offset rules, which is something this firm can help you navigate.
How long does a Social Security disability case typically take in South Carolina?
Initial decisions can take three to six months. If you need to appeal and request a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, the process can take a year or more depending on the backlog at the local hearing office. Starting with an attorney early can help avoid procedural delays.
Where is the firm located and do I need to travel for appointments?
The office is located at 825 Lowcountry Blvd, Suite 201 in Mount Pleasant. You should contact the firm directly at (843) 577-6866 to discuss whether in-person or remote consultations are available.
What medical conditions qualify for Social Security disability benefits?
The Social Security Administration evaluates a wide range of physical and mental health conditions. What matters is whether your condition prevents you from performing substantial gainful work, not just your diagnosis. The firm can review your medical records and work history to assess the strength of your claim.
