What Is Social Security Disability?
Social Security Disability provides financial assistance to individuals who cannot work due to a qualifying physical or mental impairment. There are two primary programs offered by the Social Security Administration (SSA):
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): Provides benefits to individuals who have paid into the Social Security system through prior work and earned enough “work credits.”
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI): Provides financial support to individuals with limited income and resources, regardless of work history.
Both programs require you to meet specific criteria and provide detailed documentation about your condition, limitations, and work history. We ensure you present all required forms and evidence accurately so your claim stands strong from the start.
Who Qualifies for Social Security Disability Benefits?
Although every case is unique, you generally must meet key criteria established by the SSA. You may qualify if:
- They have a medical condition that significantly limits their ability to work
- The impairment has lasted or is expected to last at least 12 months
- They cannot perform their previous job or adjust to other work
- They have sufficient work credits (for SSDI applicants)
- They meet income and resource limits (for SSI applicants)
- Their condition matches or is equivalent to an SSA-listed impairment
We help you assess eligibility, gather documentation, and build claims that clearly show why you qualify for benefits.

Common Reasons SSD Claims Are Denied
The SSA denies many Social Security Disability claims during the initial review phase. A denial can feel discouraging, but it doesn’t end your case. In many situations, a properly prepared appeal leads to a successful outcome. Common reasons claims are denied include:
- Insufficient medical documentation
- Missing or incomplete forms
- Lack of evidence showing how the condition affects work ability
- Failure to follow treatment recommendations
- Not meeting SSA work credit requirements
- Income or assets exceeding SSI limits
- Errors or inconsistencies in the application
- Missed deadlines during the filing or appeal process
Our team carefully reviews your situation, identifies weaknesses in previous filings, and helps gather the evidence needed to strengthen your claim. We also manage communication with the SSA and ensure every form is handled correctly and submitted on time.
