Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SSDI and SSI, and which one do I qualify 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. Philip Garrow can review your situation and help you determine which program applies, or whether you may qualify for both.
My Social Security disability claim was denied. Can Philip Garrow help me appeal?
Yes, appeals are a significant part of his practice. Many initial claims are denied, but claimants have the right to request reconsideration and then a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. Having legal representation at that hearing can make a meaningful difference.
Does Philip Garrow handle workers compensation cases in addition to Social Security disability?
Yes, workers compensation law is one of his listed practice areas. If your disability stems from a workplace injury, he can assist with both the workers comp claim and any related Social Security disability filing.
How long does the Social Security disability process typically take in Oregon?
Initial decisions can take three to six months, and appeals can extend the process considerably longer. An attorney familiar with the process can help avoid delays caused by incomplete documentation or missed deadlines.
