There are two types of benefits sought by claimants:
SSDI is available to people who have worked and paid Social Security taxes long enough before becoming disabled, typically at least five out of the last ten years (exact credits depend on your age). However, more than 70% of initial SSDI claims are denied. If you haven’t worked recently, worked only briefly, or never worked at all, you may still qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a separate SSA program. SSI is based on financial need, not work history. You can qualify if you have very limited income (generally under $967 per month in 2025 countable income), limited assets, and a severe medical condition that stops you from working. A skilled and persistent legal representative is crucial to navigate this challenging process and avoid common mistakes when seeking benefits. Fortunately, if your claim is denied, you have the right to appeal, and most people eventually win at the hearing level with proper help. The SSA also considers age in both programs:

The federal government understands that sudden or long-term illnesses and injuries can stop people from being able to keep working. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a federal insurance program managed by the Social Security Administration (SSA) that provides financial help to Americans who become medically unable to hold a job.
SSDI is not welfare or charity, it’s true insurance that workers pay into automatically through payroll taxes. A portion of every paycheck goes into the SSA’s Disability Trust Fund, which then pays monthly benefits to qualified individuals of any age who have a work history and now face a severe disability. Anyone whose medical condition keeps them from working and who satisfies the program’s work-credit and medical rules can apply for these benefits.
Since the application and appeals process is often complicated, lengthy, and difficult for people unfamiliar with government agencies, most applicants benefit greatly from experienced legal guidance, such as the support offered by JD Consults, LLC.
WHY Was MY CLAIM DENIED? |
Condition Doesn’t Meet SSA Criteria
On appeal we'll interpret SSA guidelines, provide medical opinions, and build arguments to show your condition meets or equals SSA disability criteria. Failure to Follow Treatment
Unless there is a valid reason, like cost, side effects, or conflicting advice, not following treatment helps build a strong case for SSA denials. Insufficient Medical Evidence
We'll help you gather medical evidence, work with healthcare providers for detailed reports, and ensure all documentation meets SSA standards. |
Earnings Evaluation
Assessing your earnings and ensuring your income is reported correctly helps when certain types of income or benefits should not have disqualified you. Failure to Meet Work Requirements
Reviewing your work history, and SSI alternatives, will help determine whether you should continue with the application process. Incomplete or Incorrect Application
We ensure your application is accurate, complete, and submitted on time, minimizing the risk of denial from administrative errors. |
