How Do I Know Which Social Security Disability Program Is Right for Me?
An attorney from our team at Bader Scott can help you decide which SSD program is best for you. You could qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or both.
We will review the factors that could make a difference in the claims process and determine your legal options. Our goal is to help you find the best fit for your situation, which will maximize your chances for approval. Some of the factors we will discuss with you include:
- Your work history
- Your education and experience
- Your current household income
- Your assets and resources
- Your medical condition
Qualifying for SSDI or SSI Based on Your Disability
The criteria you must meet to prove you are living with a disabling condition are stringent. The Social Security Administration (SSA) will look at many factors to determine if you qualify for benefits. You can expect it to evaluate:
- Your current work activity to determine if you can work and if that work qualifies as substantial gainful activity (SGA)
- If your health significantly limits your ability to work
- Whether your condition has lasted or is expected to last at least 12 months or result in death
- Whether your condition matches an impairment listing in the SSA’s Blue Book
- Your residual functional capacity (RFC), if your condition does not meet the criteria in a Blue Book listing
- Your ability to do other work based on your RFC, age, education, and experience
If the SSA weighs these factors and determines you cannot perform SGA (and you meet the other qualifications), it will approve your claim for Social Security Disability benefits.

How Our Alpharetta Disability Attorneys Manage the Appeals Process
When the SSA does not have adequate medical evidence or other proper documentation to approve your application for disability benefits, it will deny your claim. Unfortunately, this is common. Most people receive a denial based on their initial claim and must navigate the appeals process to challenge the denial.
Fortunately, the appeals process is often effective. Many people receive approval by appealing their denial. However, there are strict deadlines to do so. You must request a reconsideration with the SSA within 60 days of your denial. This is the first step in the appeals process.
When we represent you, your Alpharetta SSD lawyer will:
- Review the denial notice to understand why the SSA denied your claim
- Gather new or overlooked medical evidence to address the reason for denial
- Request reconsideration, or a review of your initial claim
- If the reconsideration confirms a denial, request a disability hearing with an ALJ
- Prepare you for the ALJ hearing, including coaching you on what to expect and what new evidence you have to support your claim
- If needed, request a review by the Appeals Council or file a federal court lawsuit
When working on appeals for our clients, we always manage all paperwork, keep an eye on deadlines, and handle all communication with the SSA. You can trust us to fight for your best interests.
