New York Disability Benefits Lawyer
The Saratoga Springs Social Security Disability attorneys at DeGraff, Foy & Kunz, LLP, help people who have become disabled obtain benefits from the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program.
Are You Eligible to File a Social Security Disability Claim?
Social Security Disability is an insurance program that working people pay into with each paycheck. Your eligibility for benefits depends upon:
- Your work history: You must have worked and paid into the program for enough time, generally five out of the past 10 years.
- The severity of your disability: You must be too disabled to work at any job, not just the job that you currently have or most recently had.
- The duration of your disability: Your disability must have prevented you from working at any job for at least a year or be expected to keep you from working for at least a year.
Social Security Disability claims are routinely denied at the initial application stage, particularly if the applicant is not represented by a lawyer. Because of our experience in handling SSDI claims, applications we prepare have a higher probability of being accepted at the initial stage and on appeal.
If Your Claim Has Been Denied
We can appeal the denial of your SSDI claim through all levels of reconsideration, administrative review and appeal, including the important hearing before an administrative law judge.
We represent clients in administrative law matters in other issues, from department of motor vehicle hearings to human rights cases to school hearings.
