SSDI Case Assistance

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) applications are complex, detailed, and unforgiving of errors. Our accredited advocates guide you through every step — from gathering medical records to submitting a complete, accurate application.

What Is SSDI?

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a federal program that provides monthly benefits to individuals who have a qualifying disability and a sufficient work history. Unlike SSI, SSDI is not based on financial need — it is based on your work record and your contributions to Social Security through payroll taxes.

If approved, SSDI provides monthly cash benefits and, after 24 months, Medicare health coverage. The application process is detailed and often takes several months — which is why having organized, accurate documentation from the start is critical.

How We Help You Apply

01

Gather Your Medical Records

We help you identify all treating physicians, hospitals, and specialists whose records support your claim. We provide guidance on how to request these records and what to look for.

02

Complete the Application Forms

The SSA application includes multiple forms covering your work history, medical conditions, daily activities, and more. We review every section with you to ensure accuracy and completeness.

03

Document Your Work History

SSDI requires a detailed work history going back 15 years. We help you accurately document your past jobs, duties, and physical/mental demands in a way that supports your claim.

04

Submit and Track Your Application

We help you submit your application correctly and explain what to expect during the review process, including typical timelines and what follow-up requests from the SSA mean.

05

Respond to SSA Requests

The SSA may request additional information or schedule a consultative exam. We help you understand these requests and respond appropriately to protect your claim.
