Obtaining Needed Benefits
People with limited income and resources who are unable to work due to an injury or illness face unique challenges. However, they may find some financial relief with Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. Unfortunately, determining eligibility and obtaining benefits can be complicated.
At the Law Office of Jack W. Swan, LLC, in North Charleston, South Carolina, I assist individuals at all stages of the SSI process. I can help you submit an application, appeal a denial or represent you at an administrative hearing. Let my 29 years of legal experience involving Social Security disability claims work for you.
Who Qualifies for SSI?
SSI was established to provide low income individuals who are disabled, legally blind or aged with financial assistance. To qualify, you must:
- Suffer a physical or mental condition that meets Social Security's definition of disability, such as blindness
- Be unable to work for at least one year due to your impairment
- Be at least 65 years old
- Submit documentation of your limited income and resources
The disability standard for Social Security disability (SSD) and SSI are exactly the same. To be classified as disabled, individuals must prove an impairment that prevents them from participating in any type of work for a minimum of 12 months. Unlike SSD, SSI benefits are not dependent upon your previous work history.
How an Attorney Can Help
A majority of claims are denied at the initial stages of the administrative process. Many of them proceed to an administrative hearing. Unfortunately, some applicants make the mistake of appearing at these hearings without a lawyer. Hiring an attorney can significantly improve your chance of success by:
- Ensuring your paperwork is properly completed and filed
- Emphasizing all evidence in your favor
- Forcing the judge to pay attention to your claim
- Understanding the SSI process
Give yourself a fair chance to obtain benefits. Let me help you get the supplemental income you need and deserve.
