Hogan Smith costs you nothing for our help with a denied Social Security Disability. Even when we win, you pay us nothing directly. And we win you not only future monthly benefits, but also a lump sum payment for all your back benefits, too. 

Trying to get your own Social Security Disability claim approved is super frustrating. In fact, we think they've designed the system to be practically impossible for the average person. That's why most claims are denied. In fact, almost every claim is turned down at first. 

We make it easy. So many people have had us handle their Social Security Disability claims, and we get the great majority of cases approved. 

Our team has 129 years of experience helping disabled people with their Social Security Disability claims. Our senior Advocate worked directly for the Social Security Administration. No one is more qualified to help you win your claim.

The process involves gathering objective medical evidence like X-rays or MRIs that show significant joint dysfunction. Most initial applications are denied, but we manage the mandatory appeals to ensure your functional limitations are accurately documented.

There are two main types of Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits available to eligible individuals:

1. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): SSDI benefits are available to individuals who have worked and paid Social Security taxes for a certain period, earning enough work credits to qualify for benefits. These benefits are based on the individual's work history and are intended to replace lost income due to a disability that prevents them from engaging in substantial gainful activity (SGA).
2. Supplemental Security Income (SSI): SSI benefits are available to disabled individuals who have limited income and resources, regardless of their work history. SSI provides financial assistance to help meet basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing for individuals who are elderly, blind, or disabled. Unlike SSDI, SSI benefits are not based on work history but are subject to strict income and asset limits.

Both SSDI and SSI provide essential financial support to individuals with disabilities, but the eligibility criteria and application process differ between the two programs. We can help you understand the distinctions between SSDI and SSI to determine which benefits you may be eligible for and to navigate the application process effectively.

Time is critical for meeting appeal deadlines. Reach us at 888-348-8547 or through our website for a free consultation.

It costs you NOTHING upfront. We work on a contingency basis, meaning we only get paid if we win your case, and those fees are never paid directly by you.
