The difference between winning your SSI or SSDI claim and losing it
The vast majority of the initial applicants are denied social security benefits: generally, between 65% and 70%. Do not make the mistake of gambling with your odds of winning. An experienced Covington social security lawyer knows how to present proof of your disability in the most advantageous way. You can really have a leg up by working with a seasoned professional.

The social security system provides monthly payments that make living in this expensive country manageable. In many cases, claimants also qualify for critical medical coverage through the social security system. SSI claimants can get Medicaid, while SSDI claimants may qualify for Medicare.
Lawyers cost too much, how would I afford to pay a social security lawyer?
Contrary to what people think about lawyers, Social Security lawyers tend to be very affordable. Why? Social Security attorneys only get paid if you get paid. This fee structure is called a “contingency” fee. The social security system oversees the amount a social security attorney can charge. For example, they are capped at making 25% of the back pay awarded to you. Even then, they can only make a maximum of $6,000 on your case. There is no reason to contact an experienced Covington Social Security lawyer. Just fill out the questionnaire on the left.
Learning about SSDI and SSI: Your federal programs
The Social Security system was created in part, to provide disability payments to our most vulnerable citizens: those who cannot work due to an injury. The injury must keep you from working for at least a year or more. Under the system, there are two types of disability programs: SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) and SSI (Supplemental Security Income). Both are explained below.
Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) – Work with a Knowledgeable Covington Disability Insurance Attorney Today
To qualify for SSDI monthly payments, you must establish a work history of paying into social security as well as a qualifying disability. So, not everyone qualifies for the SSDI program. Those who receive disability payments under SSDI may also qualify for Medicare coverage. Contact an experienced Covington SSDI lawyer to learn about your options.
SSI: a welfare-based program - Contact an experienced Covington Disability Attorney
SSI, unlike SSDI, is a welfare-based program that pays those with disabilities, regardless of their work history. To qualify, claimants must make less than a minimum threshold of income (a very small amount). Those who qualify may also be eligible for food stamps, and Medicaid. Learn more now and contact an experienced Covington SSI attorney.
Application to Appeal: the process - Covington Disability Appeal Lawyer
You can begin the application process online, in person, or by phone. The process can take a while because the number of applications is generally very high. Usually, you have to wait anywhere between three and six months, maybe longer. If you have been denied, you can appeal your case. At appeal, you will have to prove that your condition qualifies as a disability. If you do not feel comfortable appearing on your own behalf, an attorney may present your case for you.
The following are a few examples of the types of injuries and illnesses that have previously qualified as a disability:
