Harrisburg Social Security Disability Attorney

Social Security Disability Attorney TeamSocial Security Disability Insurance is an important social program that protects the rights of disabled American workers. Supported by the payroll taxes that you have paid throughout your career, SSDI is not a government handout or “free ride.” Rather, it is a necessary source of funding that you and your family may need to support themselves during a difficult period of transition. If you have become permanently or temporarily disabled, you may qualify for disability benefits.

Your consultation is free. There are no fees to pay until we recover benefits for you. Call our law offices at 1-888-SSI-PAID (1-888-774-7243) or contact us and we will get in touch with you immediately. We know the specifics of fighting for your rights in the Harrisburg court system – contact us now.

Social Security Disability in Harrisburg, PA

Unfortunately, the process of applying for SSDI can be difficult and discouraging. First, you will need to figure out whether you are eligible to receive benefits. The Social Security Administration maintains a list of approved physical and psychological conditions that confer basic disability eligibility. However, you will also need to meet several other criteria before being cleared to draw SSDI. You must not be eligible to draw retirement benefits through Social Security and must have accumulated a certain number of “work credits” during your working life.

To obtain SSD benefits, you must apply through the Social Security Administration as well as Pennsylvania Disability Determination Services. To reduce the likelihood of mistakes during the application process, you may wish to retain the services of an experienced attorney. If your initial application is denied, your attorney will be especially helpful during the convoluted appeals process.
