Social Security Disability Claims & Benefits

The SSDI Process in Lynchburg Virginia

Workers must earn a sufficient number of credits during their years on the job to qualify for SSDI. In most cases, anyone working full-time for five out of the prior 10 years will have enough. Keep in mind that only those considered completely and permanently disabled may apply for SSDI. Partial or short-term disability does not count.

The initial application may take a considerable time– perhaps a year or more– to decide, and, as noted above, it will probably be denied. Denials generally occur because of paperwork errors or because medical information is missing– such as laboratory tests. A Social Security lawyer will make sure that all of the material submitted to the SSA is complete and relevant. Counsel also works with the client’s healthcare providers to establish proof of the disability and that it meets SSA requirements.

After a Denial

After an initial denial, the candidate may file an appeal of the decision within 60 days. If the appeal is denied, the next step is taking the claim to a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. During the hearing the judge questions the applicant, and vocational and medical experts may also testify regarding employment factors and medical conditions. We prepare clients carefully for the hearing and can also present new evidence to support the claim. The attorney can cross-examine witnesses, including those presented by the SSA.

On appeal, the odds of an SSDI approval rise dramatically when the applicant has legal counsel.

Maximizing Benefits

The Lynchburg lawyers for Social Security disability can also help clients maximize benefits from other sources, such as the Virginia Retirement System Disability, worker’s compensation, or an employer’s long-term disability benefits. This is also true of Medicare or Medicaid eligibility. We explore every avenue.

The team at Ruttermills are fantastic. Communication is a big thing to me and they kept the door of communication open. They are patient, they are concerning and dedicated to YOUR cause. They get ☆☆☆☆☆ from me. Thank you so much Kathy for explaining everything to me and listening to my venting.

Nick S.

I was rear ended in an auto accident over a year ago and suffered some whiplash and long lasting lower back pain. I spent at minimum two days a week with physical therapy, massage therapy, and a chiropractor to try and get a sense of relief. As the medical bills started to add up, and I realized I could not afford them, I reached out to Will Nexsen at Rutter Mills. He and his team are second to none! They kept with me every step of the way and kept me well informed of the legal process to recoup the funds I spent on medical bills, plus an additional settlement for the burden, and time away from work.
I would recommend Will Nexsen and Rutter Mills to the closest of my friends and family. Everything was handled professionally, and the communication was timely and very informative! A true local firm that welcomes you, and treats you like family!
Thank you Will Nexsen and all the people that helped me at Rutter Mills!
