The Social Security Administration (SSA) may not approve your claim for Social Security Disability (SSD) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits even if you do everything right. In fact, the SSA denies more than 70 percent of the initial applications it receives for disability benefits.
What does that mean for you? It means that your chances for success are much better if you are represented by an attorney who understands the SSD process and knows how to navigate the complex system of applying for, or appealing a denial of, disability benefits.
