No one expects to become totally disabled—either through an illness or an injury– during their working life, but it happens to many people.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our Petersburg Social Security Disability lawyers provide a full range of services to residents seeking disability benefits they desperately need to cover daily expenses and make ends meet.

001

Our firm takes a hands-on approach to help clients understand their options, navigate the SSD application or appeals process, and seek the full benefits they are entitled to.

002

Our Petersburg Social Security lawyers can help you through the arduous SSDI application process. We have focused on this field of law for more than 50 years. We have helped thousands of disabled clients receive the benefits they deserve. And we can help you, too.

Do I Qualify for Social Security Disability Benefits?

SSDI benefits are given to people who have paid into the Social Security system for a minimum of 20 of the prior 40 quarters, or five out of the last ten years. Only those who are completely disabled and unable to perform full time work will qualify. Besides monthly funds, those approved for SSDI may receive Medicare even though they are not yet 65.

The disability must last more than one year or is expected to end with the patient’s demise

Social Security Details & Requirements

The SSA initially denies the majority of initial SSDI claims. Some of the more frequent reasons for denial include not filling out the forms as directed, not including all relevant medical records, a disability based on substance abuse, failure to follow doctor’s orders, and temporary rather than permanent disability.

We can ensure that all forms and questionnaires are completed properly, and the required treatment records are included. Since we pre-screen applicants, we know whether the candidate qualifies before submission of the application.

We also work with doctors, therapists, social workers, and other professionals to accumulate all the necessary documentation and evidence so we can build a strong case. Our clients are well prepared for any hearings, including appearing before an Administrative Law Judge.

If you are not eligible for SSDI but are disabled and poor, you may qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). These benefits are available for those who have never worked or have not paid into the Social Security system for enough quarters for SSDI consideration. Assets and income must fall below a specific level.

Individuals over age 65 and blind or disabled younger people are also eligible for SSI.

The Petersburg personal injury lawyers at Rutter Mills can determine whether you qualify for SSDI or SSI through a case evaluation. If we feel you are eligible, we can assist you in filling out the application. If you filled out an initial one yourself and were denied, we can handle your appeal. Call us today or contact us online to schedule a free consultation. Since we work on a contingency basis, there is never a fee unless you receive benefits.

Dont make it harder than it needs to be. Choose Rutter Mills! I had never needed to contact an attorney, it was all new to me and I was in pain from being rear ended while at a stop light. I did like most and checked reviews. I called Rutter Mills and not for one second did I ever doubt my decision. I had the pleasure of working with attorney Andrew Boran and his paralegal Kathy Saunders. They were there for me every step of the way. Extremely understanding and knowledgeable. They stayed in touch with me and went to bat for me. I highly recommend them to anyone. Don't make it harder than it needs to be on yourself, CALL RUTTER MILLS NOW!

Attorney Dan Delalla and Team were awesome!! Nateisha stayed in constant contact l. They explained the process step by step. To top it off we had a family member to pass in a car wreck by a drunk driver during this time the team thought enough to send flowers. I highly recommend Rutter Mills

I wish I had called Rutter Mills from the beginning. I tried to deal with the insurance company myself, big mistake. Adam Lotkin and his paralegal Ruth Simmons were amazing. They walked me through the process and got me a settlement almost ten times the offer from the insurance company. Trust Rutter Mills, you won't be disappointed!

Adam Lotkin, Max Baker, and the team behind them are amazing people. They did a great job with communicating and explaining each step of the process and they do the absolute best in ensuring their clients are taken care of. For my case in specific, we expected to wait 2 year to settle l, but through the team’s hard work and a little luck, it was settled in less than a year. I would not hesitate to come back to them if I ever needed to.

My 1yr old and I were in a pretty bad accident. I called Rutter Mills and they were on it asap! They not only took care of me, but my daughter as well and I couldn't be more thankful!
