Philadelphia Social Security Disability Attorneys at Silver & Silver

If you’re considering filing for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits due to your inability to work or have faced a claim denial, Silver & Silver’s experienced team of Philadelphia SSD attorneys is here to help. The Social Security Administration (SSA) disability application process is challenging—only one-third of claims are approved on the first try.

Whether you’re newly disabled or your initial application has been denied, our attorneys can assist you in determining your eligibility, appealing a denial, and ensuring you get the benefits you deserve. We are committed to guiding you through the complex process with care and professionalism.

Contact us for a free consultation today to discuss your case with our skilled SSD attorneys.

How to Determine Your Eligibility for Social Security Disability Benefits

To be eligible for SSD benefits, you must meet certain criteria:

  • Be under the national retirement age of 66.
  • Have worked long enough in a position covered by Social Security.
  • Have a qualifying disability that prevents you from working.
  • Have a disability expected to last at least one year or result in death.
  • Have the necessary work credits based on your age and have paid FICA taxes for five of the last 10 years.

If you meet these qualifications, contact us before applying to ensure the best chance of approval. Many first-time applicants face denials, but with Silver & Silver on your side, we’ll help you navigate the process successfully. If your application has already been denied, we can assist you in appealing the decision.

The fees are set by federal law and paid only if your claim succeeds, drawn from your past-due benefits rather than money in your pocket today. By rule, the fee is 25% of your back pay or $9,200, whichever is less, and separate case costs like ordering medical records stay your responsibility. When your income has already stopped, the worry about affording help can feel as heavy as the disability itself.…

Can You Get SSDI Benefits in New Jersey? What Camden and Vineland Applicants Should Know

What Should You Do if Your SSDI Application Is Denied in Philadelphia?

If your SSDI application is denied in Philadelphia, act quickly, because you have only 60 days to appeal, and your claim can move through up to four stages of review: reconsideration, a hearing before an administrative law judge, the Appeals Council, and finally federal court. A first denial is common. Most initial applications are turned down, often for documentation or technical reasons rather than the seriousness of the condition, and many valid claims are approved on appeal. Opening that denial…
