Denied? Don’t Give Up.

Many people are denied the first time they apply. A denial does not mean your case is over.

You usually have 60 days to appeal, and missing that deadline can mean starting over. Call us before your deadline passes. We’ll review your denial and tell you what to do next.

How We Help

We handle every stage of your claim:

  • Applications. We help you file SSDI and SSI claims the right way from the start.
  • Appeals. We fight denials at every level of the process.
  • Medical evidence. We gather the records that prove how your condition limits you.
  • Deadlines. We track every deadline so nothing gets missed.
  • Hearings. We prepare you and stand with you in front of the judge.

How It Works

  1. Tell us what’s going on. Call or fill out our short form. We’ll ask about your health, your work history, and how your condition affects your daily life.
  2. We do the heavy lifting. We collect your records, handle the paperwork, and keep your case moving.
  3. We fight for your benefits. We represent you through appeals and at your hearing, whether it’s by phone, by video, or in person.

Help Wherever You Live

Social Security Disability is a federal program, and its rules are the same in every state. That means we can represent you whether you live in Pennsylvania, Texas, California, or anywhere in between.

You never have to visit our office. We work with you by phone, email, and secure online document sharing.

Mike Silver has fought for people with disabilities for more than 45 years. He is a former President of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives (NOSSCR) and has testified before Congress about how the disability system can better serve the people who rely on it. He was the founding Chair of the Philadelphia Bar Association’s Disability Law Committee and has been named a Pennsylvania Super Lawyer every year since 2004.

Joe Silver carries on his family’s commitment to disability law. He recently served on NOSSCR’s National Board of Directors and now Chairs the Philadelphia Bar Association’s Disability Law Committee. He has been named a Pennsylvania Super Lawyers Rising Star every year from 2019 through 2026.

Cindy Silver

Cindy Silver co-founded Silver & Silver with Mike in 1981 and now serves as the firm’s Co-Managing Partner. A Villanova Law graduate, she began her career as Associate General Counsel for a life insurance company, which gave her an inside look at how insurers review claims. She has spent decades representing seriously injured people and their families, leads the firm’s Personal Injury practice, and was named a Top Personal Injury Lawyer by Main Line Today for 15 consecutive years. A serious accident can leave someone unable to work, and many disability claims begin with an injury someone else caused, so Cindy’s team works closely with our disability lawyers to make sure clients don’t miss help they may be owed on either side.

Common Questions

Do I qualify for Social Security Disability?
You may qualify if a medical condition keeps you from working and is expected to last at least 12 months. SSDI is for people who have worked and paid Social Security taxes. 

How much does it cost?
Nothing up front. We only get paid if you win. Our fee comes from your past-due benefits, and it is limited by federal law and approved by Social Security. You may be responsible for some case costs, such as fees for medical records.

What if I’ve already been denied?
You can appeal. Most appeals must be filed within about 60 days, so call us right away.

How long does it take?
It depends on your case and where you live. Some claims are decided in a few months. Cases that go to a hearing can take a year or more. We work to keep yours moving.

Do I need to live near your office?
No. We represent clients nationwide and handle everything by phone and online.

Let Our Family Help Yours

You don’t have to face the Social Security system alone. Tell us what’s happening. We’ll listen, explain your options, and help you take the next step.

This team of Attorneys are very personable, professional and knowledgeable. They worked diligently for the best outcome throughout my entire process. Their keen sense of infractions from the opposition was untolerated. Cindy is tough and holds her ground firmly. Joe kept me updated on my case, and provided research based information when providing legal guidance and supporting my best interest in every aspect. As a client, my options were welcomed, but with the dedicated attention, you feel like family not a case profile. I had direct access to my attorneys. If I had a question or concern to be addressed, the response was informative and timely. I was treated with respect and always felt the sincerity with each interaction. I would have Silver and Silver as my legal team anytime.

Joe Schwartz and his team treated my sister and I with professional care. They were open and honest, and got my sister what she deserved. We always hear the worst words about lawyers, but I felt seen and heard at Silver & Silver. Maybe I’m naive, but I thought they actually cared about us and the task at hand.

I chose Silver & Silver because they are close to where I live. This was important because I was unable to drive as a result of a broken arm due to an unsafe threshold in a merchant's doorway. I was very pleased with the firm's handling of my case.

Social Security Disability Claim

How Does Being Self-Employed Affect a Social Security Disability Claim in Norristown?

Being self-employed does not keep you from qualifying for Social Security Disability benefits, but it does change how the Social Security Administration measures your work. Instead of reading earnings off a paycheck, SSA works through three tests.  It weighs the services you provide to the business, how your work compares to what an owner in good health would do, and what that work would be worth if you paid someone else to do it. Your tax return is one piece…

Why Are Social Security Disability Claims Denied in Chester?

Social Security Disability claims filed from Chester may be denied for several reasons, including questions about the medical evidence, current earnings, the expected duration of the condition, or issues involving required forms and other parts of the application process. You waited months for an answer while bills piled up and your health didn't improve, so reading that decision is deflating. The Social Security Disability attorneys at Silver & Silver can explain what a Chester SSD denial notice actually says and…

How Does the Social Security Disability Process Work in Camden?

If you live in Camden, your Social Security Disability application follows the same federal process used nationwide. You file with the Social Security Administration, a state agency reviews your medical evidence on Social Security's behalf, and your claim is measured against five questions asked in order.  The wait for a first decision runs about six to eight months, and most first applications are turned down, often because the file is missing medical records or a form the review requires. You…

What Medical Records Do You Need for a Social Security Disability Claim in Philadelphia?

A Social Security Disability claim rests on medical records that show what is wrong and how much it limits you. Things like ongoing treatment notes, objective findings like imaging and lab work, hospital records, and statements from your treating providers about what you can still do in a workday are important.  A list of symptoms on its own is not enough. The Social Security Administration needs documentation of a medically determinable impairment, a condition a doctor can confirm with objective…
