Social Security Disability (SSDI) In New Jersey
Are you eligible for Social Security Disability Benefits?
-
- Are you or a loved one suffering from a debilitating physical or psychological condition?
-
- Do you find it impossible to maintain gainful employment or perform the jobs you used to do?
-
- Is the condition expected to last 12 months or longer?
If you answered yes to these questions, you’re likely eligible for Social Security disability benefits.
Social Security disability benefits are paid only to workers with long-term impairments that preclude any gainful work, regardless of whether the disability arose on or off the job. By law, the benefits are paid only to workers who are unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity because of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that is expected to last at least a year or result in death.
But before you start a claim, you should know one thing – even if you’re disabled, your claim has a high chance of being denied before it’s been fairly reviewed! That’s because most claimants who apply for benefits alone make small mistakes that cost them big in the long run. If you have been hurt and can no longer work, the attorneys at Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group PC are experienced attorneys practicing law for over 56 years in New Jersey and are here to help you with your SSDI claim.
Denied Social Security Claims
Taking Your Case through the Appeals Process
Having your SSID application denied does not necessarily mean you are not entitled to benefits.
Suppose your initial Social Security disability claim is denied, and statistics show that well over two-thirds of all applications will be rejected initially.
In that case, the next step is to request a hearing before an administrative law judge. Statistically, this hearing is your best chance to obtain the benefits you’ve previously been denied, so it is critical to be prepared. Our representatives will leave no stone unturned in working on your case in preparation for your hearing.
We will meet with you before your hearing to prepare you for it. When the time comes, you will be ready to testify, and we will be prepared to argue for the benefits you deserve. On average, it takes 12 to 18 months to get a hearing, but under certain conditions, we can fast-track some hearings.
If the hearing is unsuccessful, we can pursue your case at the Appeals Council and, if necessary, file an appeal in Federal Court. We are highly experienced with the appeals process for denied claims.
We have helped clients successfully obtain benefits at the hearing stage, the Appeals Council, and through our network, the Federal Court.
At Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group PC, we are determined to pursue appeals where we feel the Administration has wrongly denied our client’s claim until you prevail.
