Understanding Social Security Disability

Social Security disability, or SSD, is a federal program overseen by the Social Security Administration (SSA) that provides monthly benefits to qualifying individuals. 

There are two main SSD programs: 

  • Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): SSDI provides benefits to disabled workers who have earned the appropriate work credits. To earn work credits, one must pay Social Security taxes on wages or self-employment income. Additionally, to qualify for SSDI, one must have a medical condition that is considered a “disability” according to the SSA’s definition.
  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI): SSI was created to help people who have limited income and resources pay for basic needs, such as food and shelter. To qualify, one must be at least 65 years old, blind, or disabled and not have income or resources that are valued above the SSA’s specified income and resource thresholds.

In some cases, a person may be eligible for both SSDI and SSI. In others, they may qualify for only one type of SSD benefits. 

Our Griffin disability lawyers at Affleck & Gordon can help you determine whether you are eligible for SSDI, SSI, or both benefit programs. We can also assist you in preparing and filing your initial claim, as well as appealing a denied SSD claim by requesting a reconsideration, an administrative hearing, an Appeals Council review, or even by filing a civil claim in federal court.

Understanding Veterans’ Disability 

The United States Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA) has established a program that provides monthly benefits to military veterans who suffered service-related injuries, illnesses, or medical conditions, including mental health disorders, that impact their lives and wellbeing. 

You may be entitled to VA disability benefits if you are a veteran of any branch of the U.S. military and you: 

  • Had a preexisting condition that was worsened by your military service 
  • Experienced a disabling medical condition during your time in service 
  • Were diagnosed with a chronic disabling condition within one year of being discharged

VA disability benefits are paid monthly and are tax-free. You may apply for veterans’ benefits online, by phone, or by mail—but it is strongly recommended that you apply online. Most online applications are processed faster, and benefits are granted sooner, than other types of applications. 

If you need help applying for VA disability benefits, or if your claim has been denied, reach out to the team at Affleck & Gordon. We have an in-depth understanding of the VA disability benefits system and have helped thousands of military veterans obtain the rightful benefits they were owed. We can answer your questions and address any concerns you may have regarding your application, your C&P exam, your claim’s denial, your appeal, and more. 


We do not collect attorney fees unless/until we obtain benefits for you. Call us at (404) 990-3945 or contact us online to request a free consultation today.
