You can make a new start today. Call Hansen Dirani & Associates Law Offices. If you're seeking benefits for the first time or appealing a denied SSDI claim, we have the experience to help you get results. It's distressing to be unable to earn a living because of a disability. Don't despair. You have options. Get in touch with an attorney who understands.

Most of us pay into Social Security our entire working lives. When we retire, we begin collecting Social Security benefits. The money you put into Social Security is also used to pay for benefits for people younger than retirement age with disabilities and medical conditions. If you have become disabled, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits.

Most Social Security Disability claims are rejected

The Social Security Administration receives more than 2.5 million applications for Social Security Disability benefits each year. The administration rejects the vast majority of claims. It's important not to give up. If your claim was rejected, or you're submitting an initial application, an experienced attorney can help you prepare and increase your chances of success.

To be eligible for SSDI, you must have worked long enough (usually five out of the last 10 years) and have a disability expected to last for at least 12 months or result in death. The disability or medical condition must be severe enough so that you are unable to perform your job or any other type of gainful activity.

The laws surrounding Social Security disability benefits are complex. The average person, and even inexperienced lawyers, may not fully understand the SSDI claims process. When we help people pursue SSDI or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, we fight for them every step of the way.

Your claim likely will be turned down by Social Security during the initial stages of the process. But the longer you fight, the better your chance for success. Choose an SSDI attorney who puts their knowledge and resources to work for clients. Contact Hansen Dirani & Associates Law Offices today.
