More than 60% of all Government Benefit claims are denied on the first submission and this happens for many reasons. There could have been a missing document or one was filed incorrectly, medical records may be incorrect or inconclusive or the case may have been simply presented unclearly.

But just because it was denied doesn’t mean it’s the right decision. Having an experienced lawyer challenge the denial can greatly increase your ability to not only be approved but approved with back pay.

Who Qualifies for SSI or SSDI?
Anyone who has a disability that deems them unable to provide a gainful income that will last for more than 12 months or will result in death is eligible for the benefits.
