An Ohio disability attorney provides essential disability legal assistance to individuals in need of social security benefits. Pursuing benefits on your own can be difficult, but with the assistance of legal professionals, individuals seeking Social Security disability benefits can proceed with confidence.
Your disability lawyer can help you throughout every stage of the claim process including:
During the SSDI or SSI application process, your disability benefits lawyer can use their legal experience to provide crucial claim support, helping you to avoid common errors. Avoiding unnecessary delays and denials is essential to timely processing and receiving the benefits you deserve.
People who are disabled and are unable to financially support themselves may qualify for benefits through SSDI or SSI. To qualify, applicants must meet the medical requirements and financial requirements set forth by the SSA for each program.
To be eligible for SSDI or SSI benefits, individuals must have a recognized disability that makes them unable to participate in substantial gainful activity. When applying, applicants will need to show evidence of the condition, its extent, and how it impacts their ability to support themselves. The disability must also be expected to last (or have lasted) at least 12 months.
If you are applying for SSDI, you will need to meet the disability work requirement and have paid into social security through payroll taxes. Your Ohio disability lawyer can help you determine the number of work credits that you need and if you are eligible.
Those applying through the SSI benefit program do not need to have a work history. Rather, applicants must provide proof of any income and resources to support their SSI claim.
Applying for Ohio disability benefits is a lengthy and complicated process. Applicants will need to first determine their eligibility for benefits. After that they will need to gather supporting information and complete the SSA application forms.
