If you’ve been injured or live with a disability, an Orlando SSDI attorney can help you understand your benefits.

Here are a few ways an Orlando SSDI attorney can help you in your journey:

An Attorney Can Advise on When to File A Claim

Since you’re permitted to file for benefits the day you become disabled, an attorney can help explain when to file a claim and what information you’ll need to proceed. Right off the bat, you’ll need to explain how your disability will last for at least a year, and how it will prevent you from completing your full work responsibilities. This includes lifting, standing, sitting, and remembering information. Your Orlando SSDI attorney can help walk you through this process.

Helps You Understand the SSDI Process

Once you’ve applied for your SSDI benefits, you might be unsure of where to go next. Sitting around and being patient isn’t always easy, which is why an Orlando SSDI attorney can help you feel at ease. Talk to your SSDI attorney to walk you through the process of filing a claim, the waiting period, and your interview with a Social Security office representative.

Explains Your Options, Not Just For Retirement

Your Social Security Disability Insurance could help you throughout the different stages of your life. It’s not limited to retirement, which is why an attorney can help explain how you can maximize your benefits. Your SSDI payment converts to be used as a retirement benefit once you’re at your full retirement age, which is currently 66 years old.  However, you can apply for and receive SSDI benefits as an adult as long as you’re 18 years old, or older, and have worked long enough to be insured for these benefits. That’s why it might benefit you to maximize your benefits even before retirement.
