FAQs
What is Social Security Disability?
Social Security Disability is a federal benefits program that provides financial assistance to individuals who are unable to work because of a qualifying physical or mental disability. To receive benefits, applicants must meet the eligibility requirements established by the Social Security Administration.
Who qualifies for Social Security Disability benefits?
Eligibility depends on several factors, including your work history, medical condition, and whether your disability prevents you from performing substantial gainful activity. RGMR’s experienced Social Security Disability attorney can review your situation and help determine whether you may qualify for benefits.
What should I do if my Social Security Disability claim is denied?
Many initial Social Security Disability claims are denied, but a denial does not mean you’re ineligible for benefits. You have the right to appeal the decision, and an attorney can help gather additional medical evidence, prepare your case, and represent you throughout the appeals process.
How long does it take to receive Social Security Disability benefits?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of your claim and whether an appeal is necessary. Some claims are approved relatively quickly, while others may take several months or longer. An attorney can help ensure your application is complete and guide you through each stage of the process.
What medical conditions qualify for Social Security Disability?
Many physical and mental health conditions may qualify for Social Security Disability benefits if they prevent you from working and meet the Social Security Administration’s requirements. Eligibility is based on the severity of your condition and its impact on your ability to work, rather than on a diagnosis alone.
Do I need a lawyer to apply for Social Security Disability?
While you are not required to hire an attorney, legal representation can be especially helpful if your claim has been denied, your case is complex, or you’re preparing for a hearing. An attorney can help complete your application, gather supporting medical evidence, and advocate for your rights throughout the process.
How much does it cost to hire a Social Security Disability attorney?
In most Social Security Disability cases, attorney fees are contingent upon successfully obtaining benefits and are subject to approval under federal law. During your consultation, the attorneys at Ransom Gilbertson can explain how attorney fees work and answer any questions you may have.
