Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for individuals with limited income and resources who are disabled, blind, or age 65 or older.
Disability benefits for children with qualifying medical conditions that cause marked and severe functional limitations.
Disabled widow's or widower's benefits for surviving spouses who became disabled within a specific timeframe.
Disabled adult child benefits for adults whose disability began before age 22 and whose parent receives Social Security retirement or disability benefits.
Whether you're filing an initial application, appealing a denial, or preparing for an Administrative Law Judge hearing, our team provides comprehensive support tailored to your situation..
What qualifies as a disability for Social Security purposes?
The Social Security Administration has strict medical and work-related criteria for disability benefits. To qualify, you must have a condition that:
Prevents you from performing substantial gainful activity (earning above a certain monthly amount).
Is expected to last at least 12 continuous months or result in death.
Meets the SSA's definition of disability based on medical evidence from doctors, hospitals, and clinics.
Is listed in the SSA's Blue Book of impairments or is medically equivalent to a listed condition.
Common qualifying conditions include musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular disease, mental health conditions, neurological disorders, cancer, respiratory illnesses, and chronic pain syndromes. Even if your specific condition isn't listed, you may still qualify if medical evidence shows you cannot sustain employment.

An experienced advocate who fights for your rights
The Social Security Administration denies more than half of initial disability applications, often for technical reasons or insufficient medical documentation. Many legitimate claims are rejected simply because applicants don't know how to present their case effectively.
