The disability claims process for both SSD and SSI is essentially the same. What follows is a basic description of some of the stages you may have to go through along the way.
1.) Getting your injury, illness or condition diagnosed. Without proper medical documentation, there is no point in filing a disability claim. Equally important is the way in which the medical evidence and doctors' reports are presented. With decades of litigation experience as a firm, and in dealing with the SSA, we know what evidence they're looking for and how to present it properly.
2.) Filing the initial claim. This can be done at your local Social Security office or online through the SSA's official Web site. You do not need a lawyer to prepare and file this claim. However, we are certainly available to answer any questions you may have about this initial claim process.
3.) The waiting stage. After the claim has been filed and you have had your interview, the Social Security Administration will begin reviewing your file. They will look at the medical records and evidence you've submitted. It is also possible that they may ask you to go see one of their own doctors for further evaluation. At some point, generally less than six months later, they will issue a determination that approves or denies benefits.
4.) The appeals process. If you are denied benefits (most people are at the initial claims stage) — you have the right to appeal that decision. Included in the appeals process may be administrative appeals (requests for reconsideration and ALJ hearings); an administrative review by the Appeals Council in Falls Church, Virginia; and last, taking your case to federal court, including federal appeals courts.
