Understanding Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
Social Security Disability Insurance is available to individuals who have worked and paid into the Social Security system and are no longer able to work due to a qualifying medical condition.
Eligibility for SSDI is based on several factors, including work credits, medical evidence, and how a condition limits your ability to perform substantial gainful activity under Social Security rules. Many legitimate claims are denied initially, not because a person is ineligible, but because the application lacks sufficient evidence or proper presentation.
When Legal Representation Can Help With SSDI
You are not required to have an attorney to apply for SSDI benefits. However, experienced legal representation can be especially valuable in situations such as:
-
Initial SSDI applications involving complex medical conditions or work histories
-
Claims that have already been denied
-
Reconsiderations and hearings before an Administrative Law Judge
-
Appeals involving benefits that were stopped or reduced
-
Cases requiring careful development and presentation of medical evidence
Understanding when and how to act can make a meaningful difference in the outcome of an SSDI claim.

The focus is on preparation, clarity, and steady guidance at every stage of the process.
Conditions Commonly Involved in SSDI Claims
SSDI claims may involve a wide range of physical and mental health conditions, including:
-
Musculoskeletal injuries and chronic pain
-
Neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis or seizure disorders
-
Autoimmune and inflammatory diseases
-
Cardiac and pulmonary conditions
-
Cancer and serious chronic illnesses
-
Traumatic brain injuries
-
Long COVID
-
Mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorders in adults
Eligibility depends on how a condition affects your ability to work under SSA rules, not simply on a diagnosis.
