Guiding Your Through the SSI Claims Process
Supplemental Security Income is a federal program designed to help people who lack household income and property, and who cannot work because of age or a disabling condition. If you have applied for SSI and your claim has been denied, you have legal recourse, and we can help.
At the law firm of Don Pilzer, PC, in Greenville, we help disabled people throughout upstate South Carolina obtain the benefits they deserve. We offer a free initial consultation to answer your questions about the Supplemental Security Income appeals process.
Who Is Eligible for SSI?
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits are available to people who lack household income and property and are unable to work because of a disabling condition. The process of applying is daunting. Many claims are denied because the applicant didn't understand how to properly document their disabling condition through medical records.
If you have ever paid federal payroll taxes, you may be eligible for benefits through Social Security disability (SSD) instead of SSI.
What if I Don't Have Medical Insurance?
Lack of medical insurance may have prevented you from receiving regular medical care. If so, you may not have a medical file of an injury or other medical or psychological problem that keeps you from working. Our attorneys have the resources to arrange for independent medical examinations (IME) by physicians and psychologists for the purposes of disability determination.
Our lawyers and case managers will carefully and thoroughly prepare and present your case and follow up proactively to get the best results for you. We take your SSI claim as far as it needs to go, through your initial hearing, appeal, and into U.S. District Court, if appropriate.
If you can't work and you need benefits, we invite you to contact our SSI benefits law firm today for experienced, caring legal counsel.
