Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between SSDI and SSI?
SSDI is based on your work history and Social Security taxes you've paid. SSI is a need-based program for individuals with limited income and resources. Social Security-SSI Disability Appeals handles both programs and will explain which one applies to your situation.
How long does an appeal take?
Timelines vary. An appeal to reconsideration typically takes 3 to 5 months. A hearing before an Administrative Law Judge can take 12 to 18 months depending on the judge's caseload. The firm will keep you informed about expected timing throughout the process.
What medical evidence do I need to prove my disability?
Social Security requires objective medical evidence from treating doctors that documents your condition, treatment, and functional limitations. The firm reviews what you have and identifies gaps that need to be filled to strengthen your case.
