The Georgia Social Security Disability attorneys at The Eichholz Law Firm are available to assist residents with their denied benefits appeals.

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a federally run benefits program that provides financial assistance to people are unable work due to a permanent disabling condition. For a Georgia resident to qualify for their benefits, their disability must have lasted or is expected to last for a minimum of 12 months and are unable to earn more than a $1000 per month. Another stipulation to receiving SSDI is that the applicant must have enough work credits. On average the applicant must have worked five of the past 10 years.

Filing an SSDI claim can be difficult and tedious for an individual to handle by themselves.  Over two million people apply for SSDI benefits every year, and 60 percent of applicants are denied the first time they apply. An experienced Social Security lawyer can help an applicant with the appeal or “reconsideration” process.  A Social Security lawyer will help the applicant gather the proper paperwork and medical records to file a claim. Social Security lawyers can also help prepare the person and their witnesses for their hearings.
