Description: Allentown, Pennsylvania social security disability lawyers represented the Plaintiff seeking review of the denial of his application for Social Security: DIWC/DIWW benefits by HHS.

"Social Security disability law is the body of law that governs the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs. SSDI is a program that provides benefits to workers who become disabled and are unable to work. SSI is a program that provides benefits to low-income individuals who are disabled, blind, or aged 65 or older.

To be eligible for SSDI benefits, an individual must have worked and paid Social Security taxes for a certain amount of time. The amount of time required depends on the individual's age and when they became disabled.

To be eligible for SSI benefits, an individual must have low income and few resources. The amount of income and resources that an individual can have and still be eligible for SSI benefits is set by the Social Security Administration (SSA).

To be considered disabled under Social Security law, an individual must have a medical condition that is expected to last at least one year or result in death. The medical condition must also be severe enough to prevent the individual from working.

The SSA has a list of impairments, known as the Blue Book, that it uses to determine whether an individual is disabled. If an individual's medical condition is not on the Blue Book, the SSA will consider other factors, such as the individual's age, education, work experience, and residual functional capacity, to determine whether they are disabled.

If you believe that you are disabled and may be eligible for SSDI or SSI benefits, you can apply online or by calling the SSA. The SSA will review your application and medical records to determine whether you are eligible for benefits.

If you are denied benefits, you can appeal the decision. The appeals process can be complex and time-consuming, so it is important to have an attorney represent you.

Here are some examples of social security disability cases:

A person who becomes disabled in a car accident
A person who is diagnosed with a terminal illness
A person who has a chronic mental illness that prevents them from working
A person who has a physical disability that prevents them from performing their job duties

If you are considering applying for Social Security disability benefits, it is important to consult with an experienced attorney to discuss your case. An attorney can help you understand the eligibility requirements and the appeals process, and they can represent you throughout the process."
