Additional Information

Understanding Disability Benefits

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) provides financial support to individuals who are unable to work due to a qualifying disability. To be eligible, you must have worked a certain number of years and have a disability that prevents you from engaging in substantial gainful activity.  

Applying for SSDI

The application process can be complex, so it’s recommended to seek assistance from a disability advocate or attorney. They can help you gather the necessary documentation and navigate the application process.

Appealing a Denial

If your initial SSDI claim is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision. The appeals process can be lengthy, so it’s important to act quickly.

Additional Resources

Remember, you are not alone. Many people with disabilities face challenges in obtaining Social Security benefits. By understanding the process and seeking support, you can increase your chances of a successful claim.
