Do You Qualify for Social Security Disability?
SSDI Determination of Eligibility in Florida
The first step in securing Social Security disability benefits is submitting your claim to the Social Security Administration (SSA) for an initial determination of eligibility. The vast majority of claims are denied at the first disability determination stage — even the claims of people with severe and documented disabilities.You may improve your chances of approval with an experienced attorney on your case.
Contact attorney Chris R. Borgia at the Social Security Disability Law Firm, P.A. We handle initial disability claims and all appeals of rejected claims, using our extensive knowledge of the SSA process. With an office in Miami, our firm represents clients throughout South Florida and statewide.
Do not give up if you were turned down! Call 1-866-MY-DISABILITY to discuss the appeals process and how we can help.
Initial Disability Determination of Eligibility: How a Lawyer Can Help
It takes three to six months for the SSA to process your initial claim and make a disability determination. About 70 percent of applicants are flatly denied benefits at this stage, and many people simply give up. If your claim was turned down, we can help you re-submit a claim to the SSA for formal reconsideration to continue the pursuit of the benefits you need.
Many lawyers do not get involved until after a claim is rejected. At the Social Security Disability Law Firm, P.A., we want to get involved early on. With representation by a qualified attorney, the likelihood of approval for benefits in your initial disability determination increases. We help you:
- State your disability with the right wording
- Avoid statements that will hurt your claim
- Ensure forms are properly filled out
- Manage your medical treatment to support your claim
Even with an experienced lawyer on your side, initial claims may still be denied. Our dedicated and knowledgeable team will not abandon you, but help you take your case as far as necessary. Our early involvement helps build a stronger case for the next step in the appeals process.
