Help With SSDI

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a government program that is offered to individuals who were able but are now permanently unable to work. This program began officially in 1956 and has been helping individuals and their families to make ends meet since. The funds for this program are taken out of paychecks from those who are available to work. This is a beautiful way for society to work together to provide for those who are less fortunate. The idea is practically perfect; however, the execution is not always spot on. Sometimes people are denied for SSDI when they should be accepted. For this reason, social security disability insurance services are available to help those who need SSDI to plead their case. If you feel you have wrongly been denied for SSDI, here is a small list of things to do in order to get started on correcting the situation.

Seek Help

While some people may want to get SSDI, not everyone can qualify for it. You must be under 65 and have the appropriate number of work credits in order to qualify. If you meet these qualifications and have still been denied, you should seek out a social security lawyer and discuss your case with them. This should help you to clearly understand see the things you need to do in order to get approved.

Get Medical Proof

Medical proof is usually crucial for SSDI. You must have a doctor sign off on the fact that you can no longer work. Should you get denied, a letter from a doctor to SSDI can actually carry quite a bit of weight. They can help to explain your case so that people understand that you have been incapacitated.  

Document Work Credits

In addition to medical proof, a thorough and detailed work history, proving the number of work credits you have can help you to get approved. Some people do not have the appropriate number of work credits, which ultimately means that they should be requesting Social Security Income (SSI) instead of SSDI. Make sure that you are applying for the appropriate help. 

In conclusion, though you may have been denied SSDI, you still have options. Sometimes it is best to not take 'no' for an answer. Talk to social security services in order to make sure that you do have a chance to qualify, and then move forward in trying to prove your case.
