Most people pay into the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program throughout their entire working lives. If they suffer a disabling injury or illness, it may come as a shock when their valid SSDI claims are denied.
But it's very common for a Social Security Disability claim to be denied. If your initial application was denied, don't give up. Get in touch with a Social Security Disability Insurance lawyer at Metzger Wickersham today to schedule a free initial consultation.
Our experienced Social Security Disability attorneys know how to help clients obtain the disability benefits they are entitled to receive at all stages of the application and appeals process.
If your claim is denied, you can appeal the decision to an administrative law judge. An attorney with our firm can represent you in this hearing, which is very important because it is the only time in the administrative appeal process where we can argue your case in front of a judge with the authority to approve your request for benefits. Metzger Wickersham's experienced Social Security Disability attorneys know how to capitalize on that opportunity.
Candidates for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits are people who are injured and haven't been able to work for at least 12 months, or people whose injuries are expected to keep them from working for a year or result in death. SSDI benefits include monthly cash payments and Medicare insurance.
