Navigate Social Security Disability With DGK Law

At DGK Law, serving Massachusetts, Rhode Island,  and beyond, we understand the frustration and confusion that often accompanies pursuing Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, especially if your initial claim was denied.

Feeling discouraged is natural, but you're not alone. Our team is here to construct a robust appeal for your SSD claim. A seasoned Social Security attorney advocating on your behalf increases the odds of a successful appeal. Whether your SSD benefits have been discontinued or delayed, we can assist you at any stage of the evaluation process, sparing you from facing it alone. Hiring a disability attorney substantially enhances your SSDI or SSI case, particularly when contesting a denied claim.

SSDI and SSI claims cater to individuals who have contributed to the system through FICA taxes or are financially struggling due to various injuries, illnesses, or disabilities. Our team at DGK Law acknowledges the financial strain many individuals in Massachusetts and Rhode Island face, especially during challenging economic times. Obtaining SSDI or SSI payments can alleviate financial burdens, particularly for those supporting dependents.

Who Qualifies for Social Security Disability Benefits?

SSDI benefits are designed for individuals who have worked a minimum of five out of the last ten years and contributed to the system. Supplemental Security Income benefits cater to individuals facing financial hardship due to disabilities, regardless of their work history. However, despite eligibility, the majority of SSDI/SSI claims are initially denied.

Understanding Social Security Disability Payments

The amount you receive in SSD benefits is determined by your Average Indexed Monthly Earnings (AIME) and Primary Insurance Amount (PIA). While each individual's monthly payment varies, the maximum payment amount changes annually. Consulting with an experienced lawyer can provide clarity on your potential benefits.

SSD Benefit Application Process

Disability examiners review SSD claims initially, followed by administrative law judges (ALJs) for appeals. Your attorney can accompany you throughout the process, dealing with officials on your behalf and representing you at hearings.

Legal Options for Denied Claims

While you can't directly sue the Social Security Administration (SSA), legal action against the SSA commission in federal court is possible. This process is complex, but an attorney can guide you through the options and represent you effectively.
