Are you finding it difficult to navigate the Social Security disability process on your own? If you’re unable to work due to a medical condition, applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) can feel overwhelming.
At Lund Law Carolina in Charlotte, NC, our experienced team is here to guide you through every step. With our help, you can maximize your chances of approval and secure the financial support you need.
Social Security disability benefits are available to individuals who cannot work due to injury or health-related reasons. Many people file for disability because they cannot perform their usual occupation or their most recent job.
However, to be considered disabled under Social Security’s rules, you must show that you are unable to perform any kind of work available in the general economy. It doesn’t matter if the job isn’t available in your town or county; Social Security defines a disability as an inability to perform any type of full-time, everyday work.
Why Is Applying For Social Security Disability So Challenging?
The Social Security disability application process can be complex and time-consuming. Strict requirements set by the Social Security Administration (SSA) mean you need to provide strong medical evidence and prove that your condition prevents you from working in any capacity. Here are some common challenges you may face:
- Lengthy Application Process: The process can stretch on for months, sometimes even years, causing financial strain.
- High Denial Rates: Over 70% of initial SSD applications are denied, often due to incomplete information or lack of sufficient medical documentation.
- Complicated Appeal Procedures: If your claim is denied, navigating the appeals process alone can be overwhelming and difficult to win.
Many people attempt to file a claim on their own and may be successful. However, statistics show that individuals who have an attorney assisting them have a better chance of being awarded benefits than those who go through the process alone. This is particularly true when it comes to filing a request for a hearing. Having an experienced attorney by your side when you appear before a judge can significantly improve your chances of success.
How Lund Law Carolina Can Help With Your Disability Claim
Choosing the right legal team is crucial to the success of your claim. Lund Law Carolina has focused on Social Security disability law for over 20 years, serving clients throughout Charlotte, NC, and Mecklenburg County. Here’s how we can help…
Building A Strong Initial Application
The best time to consult a disability claims lawyer is before you file. Our team will help you gather the necessary medical evidence, complete forms accurately, and build a compelling case to increase your chances of approval. By getting it right the first time, you can avoid costly delays and the emotional toll of a denial.
Assistance With SSD Appeals
If your application has already been denied, don’t lose hope. Lund Law Carolina can represent you during the appeal process, ensuring that you present a strong case to the SSA. We handle everything from requesting reconsideration to representing you at disability hearings, fighting for the benefits you deserve.
Simplifying The Process
Navigating the SSD application and appeals process can be exhausting. That’s why we simplify each step to relieve the stress on you. With our focused experience, you don’t have to become an expert in Social Security law. We take the guesswork out of the process, allowing you to feel confident that your claim is in capable hands.
“I Can’t Afford A Lawyer!”
We often hear this concern, but it’s not true. Disability attorneys work on a contingency basis, which means we don’t get paid unless you do. The Social Security Administration sets the payment for all attorneys, generally 25% of your back pay, and makes the payment directly to the attorney for most approved cases. This arrangement allows you to get the legal support you need without worrying about upfront costs.
