Disability Attorney Stockton

If you're applying for SSD benefits, you'll need to prove that you had a job covered by Social Security besides having a medical condition. If you're applying for SSI, you are eligible if you have little (less than $2,000 for individuals and $3,000 for couples) to no income each month, along with a disability. Also, if you are below 65 years of age, you need to prove that you earn less than $1,550 per month to get the benefits.

From the date you applied for the benefits, the time period of approval can vary from 3 to 5 months. However, if your disability is severe and falls under the Compassionate Allowance (CAL) category, this process is sped up. Hire our Social Security Attorney in Hadley & Fraulob to know more about whether you qualify for CAL, how to speed up the process, etc.

Although no condition will automatically qualify you for SSD/SSI benefits, having certain musculoskeletal diseases like arthritis, back pain, and fibromyalgia means there's a high chance your claims will get approved. Hearing loss, blindness, respiratory diseases (cystic fibrosis), and digestive disorders like chronic liver diseases can also increase the chance of approval. 

If you have bone marrow failure, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, genetic skin disorder, Down Syndrome, Parkinson's disease, Schizophrenia, or epilepsy, this also means you'll easily qualify for SSD and SSI claims. Having cancer or immune system disorders like lupus will also increase your chance of approval.

Usually, attorneys won't charge you until they win the case of your SSD and SSI claims. When you win the case, they can charge you up to $9,200! At Hadley & Fraulob, our Social Security Attorneys will offer free consultations to you and won’t charge you until we win your case.
