Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an SSD Attorney?
Baltimore residents seeking lawyer recommendations from friends or relatives may not be ideal for Social Security Disability and SSI claims. A personal injury lawyer, for instance, may lack expertise in federal laws governing these cases.
For the best chance of success, choose a lawyer specializing in Social Security Disability and SSI claims. Experienced lawyers in this field understand the specific laws, regulations, and procedures required for applications and appeals.
At London Disability, our lawyers and advocates focus solely on Social Security Disability and SSI law, handling new applications, appeals, and denials.
How does a lawyer help with SSD and SSDI appeals?
If your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claim is denied, you have the right to appeal. While you can handle it yourself, understanding the process and gathering the necessary evidence can be challenging.
A Social Security disability lawyer brings expertise in laws, regulations, and presenting medical evidence to strengthen your appeal. At London Disability, we ensure your appeal is filed on time and thoroughly review the denial reasons. Our attorneys prepare strong arguments supported by medical and other evidence. Though the appeals process is complex, we leverage our experience to fight for the SSDI and SSI benefits you deserve.
How can I hire a disability and benefits lawyer?
London Disability in Baltimore offers free consultations to discuss your claim with our experienced team. Hiring us is simple and affordable, with no upfront payment required. Our lawyers work on a contingency-fee basis, meaning we only receive payment if you win your disability claim and are awarded benefits.
Do people typically need a disability lawyer?
Yes! Over 60% of Social Security Disability applications are denied initially. While representation isn’t required, having a lawyer or advocate can prevent errors that might delay or harm a valid claim.
At hearings before an Administrative Law Judge, a disability lawyer presents evidence and witnesses to support your case. A U.S. Government Accountability Office study found claimants with representation were three times more likely to receive favorable decisions, likely due to lawyers' ability to address complex issues with strong legal arguments and evidence.
What’s the process of appealing a denial of SSD or SSI benefits?
An SSD lawyer can help by understanding regulations and exceptions that may qualify you for benefits. For example, not all income or resources from an applicant, parent, or spouse count toward SSI eligibility. A lawyer knows how to use these rules to your advantage.
There are exceptions to eligibility rules that may apply to your case. Schedule a free consultation with an SSD lawyer at London Disability to learn more.
The process includes:
- Requesting reconsideration by a new examiner.
- A hearing with an Administrative Law Judge if reconsideration is denied.
- Appealing an unfavorable ALJ decision to the Appeals Council.
