If you are disabled and are unable to work, you may be eligible for benefits under two different governmental programs. If you qualify, you will receive monthly financial support. Each program has its own general requirements.

CONTACT USWhat Conditions Qualify for Disability?
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): If you have been unable to work for at least 12 months due to a mental or physical disability, you can apply for benefits under SSDI. Although the requirements seem straightforward, the Social Security Administration has a reputation for denying many applications the first time they are submitted. There is an appeals process that a Los Angeles Social Security attorney can help you with and that often results in approval of the previously rejected claim.
- Supplemental Security Income: To qualify for this benefit, you must also have been mentally or physically disabled for at least 12 months and expect to be disabled for at least another 12 months. There are rules that limit your eligibility if you make a certain amount of income or have too many assets.
Each case is unique. The evidence needed to support an application for benefits depends on the individual case and the nature of the disability. A Los Angeles Social Security disability lawyer or Kern County Social Security lawyer will help you pursue your claim.
