Disabled individuals have access to two separate government-based disability programs. SSI or Supplemental Security Inome is available to claimants with no work history.
April 30 2021
Disability claims help disabled individuals get benefits through one of two government-based programs. The claimant must have a physical or mental condition that prevents them from working and supporting themselves financially. If the claimant is approved, the Social Security Administration provides monthly monetary benefits to the claimant according to the program they enter.

Everything You Need for Your Original Claim
The claimants start by completing an application for SSI or SSDI. The Social Security Administration sets up an appointment with the claimant to collect any further information the agency needs. Next, the agency sends the claimant to visit the agency's doctors for an assessment. After the agency has gathered all information, the agency makes a decision about the Social Security Disability claim.
Review the Denial Record
The reason why the claimant was denied benefits is vital to their appeal. For example, if the reason is a lack of information, the claimant's attorney can inquire about what information was not provided to the agency. If the agency didn't receive the claimant's medical records, the attorney will contact the claimant's doctors and request all medical records. The records could be forward to the agency to get a reconsideration. By addressing the lack of medical evidence, it is possible to get approval for the claim.
Set Up the Appeal
The denial letter will provide the claimant with details about setting up an appeal. The claimant's attorney reviews the documents for the appeal including when it is scheduled and what information is required. The court will review all records submitted for the claimant, and the court renders a final decision about the claim. After SSD claims are denied, the SSA must explain the claimant's legal rights. If the claimant wants to set up an appeal, it is recommended that the claimant send in the appeal request and secure legal counsel fast.
Hire An Attorney
A disability attorney understands the inner workings of the court and will provide advice according to the claim's outcome. The attorney reviews all current records for the claimant and determines if all records are conclusive. If there are any unanswered questions, the claimant must get evidence to address these questions before the appeal date.
