Willow Grove Social Security Disability (SSDI) Lawyer

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is there to offer financial support to disabled workers who need it. If you believe you might qualify, our skilled attorneys can review your case and start preparing your application.

To begin, we will assess your disability eligibility. The Social Security Administration (SSA) offers guidance on qualifying conditions, and our attorneys will compare your condition to those listed by the SSA. We can also assess your age and work history to confirm your earnings record qualifies you. When preparing your application, we will ensure it contains sufficient medical evidence and is free from clerical errors. We can also assist with responses to any follow-up questions from SSA agents and handle continuing disability reviews or other issues that might arise after your claim is approved and you have been getting benefits for some time.

Assessing SSDI Eligibility in Willow Grove

Unfortunately, some workers do not learn about their SSDI eligibility until long after becoming disabled. When you contact our attorneys, we can review your condition and determine your potential eligibility based on our deep understanding of the SSA’s criteria for SSDI.

First, we may ask you about your work history. Earning wages and contributing Social Security taxes over time is part of what qualifies you for SSDI if you were to become disabled, be unable to work, and need financial support. Using the SSA’s recent work test and duration of work test, we can see if your earnings record qualifies you for SSDI. If it does not, your age and when you became disabled could categorize you as a disabled adult child (DAC). DACs are over 18 and become disabled before turning 22, making them eligible for benefits through a parent’s qualifying earnings record.

The second piece of the puzzle is the existence of a qualifying disability. Generally speaking, any injury, illness, or medical condition that keeps you from participating in substantial gainful activity (SGA) is SSDI-eligible. Our attorneys will compare your recent income, or lack thereof, after your diagnosis to current SGA limits and determine if you meet the SSA’s definition of disability to get SSDI in Upper Moreland Township.

Assessing your eligibility before filing a claim with the SSA is crucial, and our lawyers will aim to accomplish this quickly so we can proceed with your application.

Preventing Social Security Disability Claim Rejections in Willow Grove

When helping you with your disability application in Horsham, our lawyers will take steps to prevent a rejection from the SSA. For example, you must give the SSA clear evidence of the qualifying disability, otherwise it could deny your application. Responding to follow-up interview requests is also important, as is carefully reviewing the application for possible clerical errors before submitting it to the SSA.

Give Sufficient Medical Evidence

Proving you are disabled requires medical evidence. The type of medical evidence applicants must prove varies from condition to condition. That said, our SSDI lawyers may need to give copies of X-rays, lists of medications you currently take, medical test results, records of emergency room visits or extended hospital stays, proof of surgeries, doctors’ notes, and more. Our attorneys may also get statements from the physicians who have treated you to strengthen your case further and give the SSA little room to question your eligibility.

Respond to Interview Requests

The SSA agent assigned to your case might follow up on your application submission with an interview request. This is relatively normal, though preparing for this interview is important. Our experienced lawyers can explain the common questions SSA agents ask during these follow-up interviews so that they are prepared for this step in the claims approval process.

Check for Clerical Errors

One of the biggest reasons for SSDI application rejections is simple clerical errors. Misspelling something or unintentionally leaving out information could lead to a denial. Should this happen, you could resubmit your application, but this would only further delay your access to financial support. When assisting with your application, our team can carefully review its contents and supplemental materials before submitting it to ensure it is thorough and free from errors that could result in denial.

Staying Eligible for SSDI After Approval in Willow Grove

Your SSDI eligibility is not indefinite. Working part time is risky, as earning outside income sometimes threatens recipients’ continued access to SSDI without them knowing. After being approved for SSDI by the SSA, we can give you the information you need to keep getting financial support for as long as you need it.

You stay eligible for SSDI by not earning more than SGA limits. If you are not blind, your monthly SGA limit for 2025 is $1,620. If you are statutorily blind, your monthly SGA limit for 2025 is $2,700. All SSDI recipients in Upper Moreland Township must report their outside incomes to the SSA. If your income is over the substantial gainful activity limit, the SSA might withhold your payment for the month.

Trial work periods are more complicated and automatically triggered after you earn $1,116 monthly. Unchecked trial work periods jeopardize SSDI benefits, and we can explain how to best manage and working part-time and getting SSDI so you do not lose your much-needed financial support.

Furthermore, your disability must continue to exist for you to keep getting SSDI over the years. Continuing disability reviews happen periodically, and SSDI recipients must respond to requests from the SSA for updated medical evidence timely so they do not lose their monthly checks. We can assist with this as necessary and help recipients address issues that might arise after claim approvals, like missed monthly checks.
