Do I qualify for Social Security Disability?

Understanding Your Right to SSD Benefits

If you’ve worked and paid into Social Security, you may be entitled to Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits if an injury, illness, or progressive condition prevents you from working. These benefits are designed to provide financial support when you can no longer earn a living due to disability.

At Schroder Law, P.C., Attorney Barry C. Schroder has over 30 years of experience helping individuals successfully apply for SSD benefits. He will assess your claim, guide you through the process, and build a strong case to improve your chances of approval.

Do You Meet the SSA’s Disability Requirements?

To qualify for SSD benefits, the Social Security Administration (SSA) considers:

Work History & Contributions – Your benefits depend on your earnings history and how long you’ve paid into Social Security.
Earnings Limitations – You must be unable to earn more than a specified monthly income due to your disability.
Work Limitations – Your condition must significantly interfere with work-related tasks.
SSA’s List of Disabling Conditions – Your illness or injury must match or be equivalent to an impairment recognized by the SSA.
Ability to Work – If you can no longer perform your previous job and cannot adjust to other work, you may qualify.

A major reason SSD claims are denied is that applicants do not meet the SSA’s strict definition of disability. If your application has been denied, Schroder Law, P.C. can help you file an effective appeal and fight for the benefits you deserve.
