Applying for SSDI? Call Our Social Security Lawyers in Wayne, PA for Help
Applying for disability benefits through the Social Security Administration (SSA) can be overwhelming. Not only is the application process itself confusing, often full of complicated legal or medical terms, but also because an applicant has to acknowledge that he is actually disabled. After all, if you did could work, you would not be applying in the first place. To make matters worse, statistics from the SSA reveal that roughly two-thirds (2/3s) of applications are denied. Many of these denials are due to technical deficiencies or the failure to cooperate or timely respond to SSA’s requests or inquiries. Often most of these denials could be avoided by having the assistance of an experienced Social Security lawyer in Wayne, PA, like one of ours.

Social Security Disability Insurance
Also known as SSDI, Social Security Disability Insurance requires:
- A medical condition that satisfies the strict definition of disability as defined by the SSA, and
- A qualifying work history.
Benefits paid for SSDI are usually higher because individuals will have paid into these benefits by virtue of paying social security taxes.
Generally, individuals need 40 work credits to qualify for SSDI benefits. Work credits are earned at a rate of a maximum of four (4) per year. Thus, a work history of 10 years is generally needed to qualify for SSDI. However, there are exceptions for individuals who become disabled at a younger age and have not had an opportunity to work for 10 years before the onset of disability.
