Filing for SSD or SSI

Pittsburgh Social Security Attorney

The United States has provided for two programs — Social Security Disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) — to provide monthly benefits to people who are unable to work because of illness or disability.

Many applicants for these programs however, are surprised by the complexity of the claims and appeal process and the difficulties they experience dealing with the Social Security Administration bureaucracy. A very high percentage of SSD and SSI claims are rejected. The solution for most applicants is to work with a Social Security claims attorney.
