Greenville Social Security Disability Attorney Assists Clients with Obtaining Benefits

South Carolina firm handles all type of Social Security Disability concerns

Social Security Disability (SSD) exists to help people with serious medical problems meet their financial needs. Located in Greenville, the Dennison Law Firm, P.C. assists South Carolina residents seeking these benefits in a system that is complex and often seems stacked against claimants. My firm explains the relevant eligibility rules, gathers the necessary evidence and the puts for the strongest possible case for disabled individuals during initial filings and appeals.

Who qualifies for disability benefits?

If you’re considering filing an application for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, you should be familiar with the qualification requirements, such as:

  • Severe medical problem — While there might be other sources for people forced to miss work due to a short-term disability, SSDI is limited to claimants who are not expected to be able to perform substantial gainful activity for at least 12 months or those whose condition is projected to be fatal.
  • Work history — Eligibility for SSDI benefits is restricted to those individuals who have contributed to the Social Security system through deductions from their paycheck. To determine whether someone worked enough, the Social Security Administration assigns work credits for each quarter during which someone was employed and contributing. Typically, someone needs to have been at work for about half of the time over the previous 10 years to qualify for SSDI payments.
  • Age — You must be at least 18 years old to receive SSD payments.

A disabled person in financial hardship who does not have sufficient work credits to receive payments under SSDI might be eligible to receive Supplemental Security Income Benefits. However, there are serious income and asset restrictions for claimants seeking that type of SSD relief.

Issues related to SSDI

When you’re already suffering from a severe medical problem, dealing with financial pressure and complicated government rules will only make things tougher. My firm is dedicated to delivering comprehensive legal guidance to clients during the SSDI application process and the appeal procedure if your claim is denied. Whether the issue relates to a question about your medical evidence, incorrect information on your work history or something else, I am ready to help.

How a skilled attorney can help

The Social Security Administration is a large bureaucracy that turns down more initial SSDI applications than it approves. One small error or failure to comply with regulations could stop you from receiving the payment you and your family need. My firm knows how important the outcome of your claim is and makes the strongest possible case on your behalf, whether you’re just starting the process of seeking benefits or have been denied and are considering an appeal. I will answer all of your questions and relieve your burden by simplifying the complex rules and procedures that apply in your case. From there, my firm advocates vigorously in support of a favorable resolution.
