As Explained By Patrick Hartwig

 

Social Security Disability and SSI Benefits

When you find you cannot work due to illness or impairment, government benefits may be available to you. These benefits are known as Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

However, many who try to collect these benefits on their own find themselves caught up in red tape. The process is lengthy and complex. You may feel the system is trying to deny benefits to people like you who so badly need them.

Here is what you need to know — according to government fact and figures, only about 55 percent of cases are approved by the Social Security Administration. Any person who needs SSDI or SSI benefits is facing an uphill battle.

The SSDI case outcome will hinge upon the quality of the information submitted with the initial application and at the hearing. Many people apply without assistance from an SSDI lawyer. After a long wait for an answer, they frequently get a denial letter in the mail. Often, their applications are missing critical information about their impairment and do not meet the criteria for approval.
