Ann Arbor SSD & SSI

SSD and SSI can be confusing, and people who are new to applying for benefits may have trouble navigating the process. If you're dealing with the qualification and application process and don't know where to turn, contact our Ann Arbor SSD and SSI law firm for help. We have only taken cases related to SSD and SSI since 1976 and know how to help people who are fighting for benefits.

The biggest factor in qualifying for SSD or SSI is whether a disability that is severe enough to render you unable to work exists. Medical records are required in order to provide the Social Security Administration with proof of a condition. It is important to discuss your medical condition with a licensed medical provider who keeps detailed, accurate records when you are applying for benefits.

The Social Security Administration takes applications online, through the mail and over the phone. Remember that online applications will still require mailing of medical records as proof of a condition and treatment.

The application process is a long one, and most people will not receive approval until about four months after the initial application. People who are suffering from severe disabilities and are unable to work may be eligibe for a new fast track system that allows approval to be expedited. For help with the application process and determining if you are eligible for quick approval, contact our Ann Arbor SSD/SSI law firm.

Having an SSD or SSI application denied can be upsetting, but it is not the end of the road. There is a process of appealing these denials that can be used when you feel that you qualify for benefits.

You should review your denial in order to determine why the Social Security Administration did not feel that you qualify for benefits. Missing or inadequate information is often cited as the reason for denial, so determine whether you have included everything you could that relates to your disability. Were medical records incomplete? Did you forget to talk to a medical provider about one aspect of your treatment?
