SSD Eligibility
To get Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) in New Jersey, you must prove that you suffer a qualifying disability. To meet Social Security’s definition of “disability” you must have a medical condition that has lasted for at least one year, is expected to last a year, or is expected to result in your death. The Social Security Administration evaluates your claim based upon your ability to perform your previous job. They also assess whether you could adjust to other work that exists in our national economy. You must have earned enough work credits through recent jobs to qualify. Our team reviews your specific medical conditions to determine if they meet this definition of “disability”. We look for objective evidence such as hospital records and surgical reports. We also consult with your physician to obtain their opinions to support your disability claim.
Application Process For SSD
The process of applying for benefits involves many stages of data collection. Our firm manages this process on your behalf. Not only do we assist you with the initial filing, but we make sure every form is complete. We also ensure every medical provider is listed to make sure obtains all of your necessary medical information. If you file on your own, you may miss deadlines. You might also fail to fully explain how your symptoms limit your daily activities. We handle all communication with the Social Security Administration. You do not have to wait on hold or guess the status of your file. If the Agency rejects your application, we will assist you throughout the appeals process. We handles appeals at all stage of the adjudicatory process and even as far as the Appeals Council and Federal Court.
