Frequently Asked Questions

Does Phillip M Hendry Law handle Social Security disability cases?
Yes. Social Security law is one of the firm's two listed practice areas. The firm can assist with SSDI and SSI applications, appeals after denial, and representation at hearings before an Administrative Law Judge.
What is the difference between SSDI and SSI in Louisiana?
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is based on your work history and the Social Security taxes you have paid. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a need-based program for people with limited income and resources. Some applicants qualify for both programs simultaneously.
My Social Security disability application was denied. Can Phillip M Hendry Law help with an appeal?
Denial is common at the initial application stage. The firm handles disability appeals, including the reconsideration stage and hearings before an Administrative Law Judge, which is often the most important stage in the Social Security disability process.
Where is Phillip M Hendry Law located in Bossier City?
The firm is at 2250 Hospital Drive, Suite 216-B in Bossier City, Louisiana. You can reach them by phone at (318) 553-5900.
Can I pursue both a workers compensation claim and Social Security disability benefits at the same time?
In many situations, yes. However, receiving workers compensation benefits can affect the amount of Social Security disability benefits you receive through a provision called the workers compensation offset. An attorney familiar with both areas of law can help you understand how this applies to your specific situation.
How long does the Social Security disability process typically take in Louisiana?
The timeline varies significantly depending on where you are in the process. Initial applications can take several months to be decided. If you need to appeal to an Administrative Law Judge, wait times at Louisiana hearing offices can extend the process further. Starting early and meeting all deadlines is important.
