SSD claims can be complicated – we can help

There is a process that must be followed when applying for SSD benefits. Failure to meet all of the requirements can result in a denial of your claim. Common reasons claims are denied include:

Insufficient medical evidence – The Social Security Administration (SSA) requires detailed medical records and documentation that clearly support that you have an impairment.
Failure to follow treatment – If you do not follow prescribed medical treatments or fail to follow through with recommended therapies, the SSA may deny your claim.
Lack of work history – To qualify for SSD benefits, you must have a sufficient work history and have paid into the Social Security system through payroll taxes.
Earning capacity – If the SSA determines that you have the ability to earn a substantial income despite impairment, they may deny the claim.
Failure to cooperate – If you fail to provide the necessary information or documentation requested by the SSA, the claim may be denied due to lack of cooperation.
Short-term disability – SSD benefits are intended for individuals with long-term disabilities expected to last at least 12 months or result in death.
Failure to meet listing criteria - The SSA maintains a list of medical conditions known as the Listing of Impairments, and your condition must meet the specific criteria outlined in it.
Residual functional capacity – If the SSA determines that you have the capacity to perform your previous work or other types of work, your claim may be denied.
Substantial gainful activity – If you are engaging in substantial gainful activity, meaning you are earning a certain amount of income, the SSA may deny your claim.
Procedural errors – These include errors in completing the application, missing deadlines, or failing to provide requested information.

An experienced SSD attorney can gather supporting documentation that proves you are eligible to receive disability benefits. Your lawyer can also guide you through the process every step of the way and answer questions you have. If your claim is denied, a lawyer can help you file an appeal.
