Atlanta Social Security Disability Lawyers
Social Security is essential to many Americans. The Social Security Administration (SSA) reported that over 69 million people received benefits in 2019. Nearly 90% of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) received payments because of blindness or other disability.
Social Security Disability Benefits Denied? Our Atlanta Attorneys Can Help
The unfortunate truth is that the Social Security system can be complicated, and benefits are often difficult to obtain. An estimated 70% of first-time Social Security Disability applicants receive rejections, even though they qualify for payments.
Being denied Social Security Disability Income (SSDDI) can be devastating for injured or disabled workers. On top of financial stress and physical pain, you may find the application process is a never-ending nightmare of paperwork and bureaucratic obstacles.

Details About SSD Eligibility in Georgia
There are specific criteria used to determine your eligibility for SSDI benefits. Your attorney will work with you to demonstrate your status. These include:
Disability status
You must have a medically diagnosed condition that prevents you from working. The condition must have been present, or be estimated to be present, for at least 12 months.
Earnings
The condition must prevent you from doing the kind of work you did before the injury or disability and prevent you from starting a new line of work.
Past work experience
You may need to demonstrate that you have worked consistently for 5–10 years and paid Social Security taxes.
It is essential that you consult with a Social Security lawyer about your application. The Social Security Administration rejects many applicants simply because they submitted incomplete or incorrect paperwork.
What To Do if Your SSD Claim is Denied
If your SSD application is denied, the response typically includes the following information:
- A description of your medical condition.
- The impairments the reviewers considered.
- The medical and employment records the reviewers considered.
- The reason your claim has been denied.
A denial of benefits does not mean you will never be approved. There may be many reasons your application was denied, such as a lack of medical evidence or an incomplete employment record.
After a rejection, the best thing you can do is contact a reliable Social Security lawyer to review your case and determine your best strategy forward. The attorneys at Farah & Farah have helped many rejected SSD applicants successfully receive the benefits they deserve.
