We understand the process and have represented thousands of people who have struggled to pay their medical expenses and their basic living expenses after a disability.

Representing People Throughout West Tennessee and North Mississippi

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 with limited income and resources, who meet the living arrangement requirements, and other eligibility requirements.
  • Social Security Disability Insurance — These benefits are available to people who paid Social Security taxes in the past. A person's earning record will determine the amount of benefits available to him or her.

What You Should Expect When Applying for Social Security?

The Social Security process is a technical process that requires claimants 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.

The SSA denies many initial SSI/SSD applications. Whether you would like to improve your chances for success on your initial application or your application has been denied and you need help appealing that decision, turn to Wood and Carlton.
