Under Social Security, there are two main ways to obtain Social Security benefits, through Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and through Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).
- Supplemental Security Income - These benefits are available to blind or disabled individuals, on a limited income and resources, who meet the living arrangement requirements, and meet other eligibility requirements.
- Social Security Disability Insurance - These benefits are available to people who paid Social Security taxes in the past. The amount of benefits available is contingent on people's earning record.
What You Should Expect When Applying for Social Security
The Social Security process is a technical process that requires a claimant to provide detailed evidence about their medical condition to a member of the SSA. The success of a claim depends on a person's ability to provide objective medical evidence about his or her medical condition.
Many Social Security advocates out there are not lawyers. It is best to talk to a lawyer that can answer all of your questions thoroughly. Why trust your future to an untrained professional.
At Wood and Carlton, we will work with you to obtain the Social Security Disability benefits that you deserve, directing you to doctors who will provide you the appropriate medical treatment. For more information about your claim, contact us for a free consultation.
