Navigating the Complexities of Social Security Disability Claims
At Tucker Law Group, we understand the challenges faced by individuals unable to work due to physical or mental disabilities. Our dedicated attorneys are committed to guiding you through the intricate process of securing Social Security Disability benefits, ensuring you receive the support you deserve.
Understanding Social Security Disability Benefits
The Social Security Administration (SSA) offers two primary programs to assist disabled individuals:
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI):
Provides benefits to individuals who have worked and paid Social Security taxes but are now unable to work due to a qualifying disability.
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI): Offers financial assistance based on need, regardless of work history, to disabled individuals with limited income and resources.
Initial applications for these benefits are frequently denied due to paperwork errors or insufficient medical evidence. Our experienced attorneys can help you navigate the appeals process, increasing your chances of a successful outcome.
How Tucker Law Group Can Assist You

We help prepare and submit your application, ensuring all necessary information is accurately presented.

If your claim is denied, we represent you throughout the appeals process, including hearings before an Administrative Law Judge.
Engaging our services early can significantly improve your chances of approval, as represented applicants often experience higher success rates.
Eligibility Criteria for SSDI
To qualify for SSDI benefits, you must meet specific requirements:
- Work Credits:
You must have earned sufficient work credits by paying Social Security taxes. The number of credits required depends on your age at the time of disability.
- Qualifying Disability: Your condition must be severe, long-term (lasting at least one year or expected to result in death), and prevent you from engaging in substantial gainful activity.
Our social security disability attorneys can help determine your eligibility and guide you through the application process.
Common Conditions That May Qualify
The SSA recognizes various medical conditions that may qualify for disability benefits, including:
- Musculoskeletal disorders
- Cardiovascular conditions
- Respiratory illnesses
- Neurological disorders
- Mental health conditions
- Immune system disorders
- Cancers
A comprehensive list can be found in the SSA's "Blue Book." Our team will evaluate your medical condition against these criteria to assess your eligibility.
