A Full-Service Social Security Disability Firm Representing People in Idaho

While we proudly serve clients in Idaho, we also take and represent clients from various other states. Because Social Security disability is a federal program, state borders do not limit our ability to help. No matter where you are in the United States, we are here to guide you through the process and fight for the benefits you deserve.

Our Idaho attorneys have the experience to assist you with:

• Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): Social Security Disability Insurance benefits are intended for workers who become disabled and are unable to continue working. To qualify, you must be medically disabled and you must have paid sufficient Social Security taxes on your earnings. If you have any questions or concerns about an SSDI claim, our Idaho Social Security disability lawyer has the experience you can rely on.
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI): Supplemental Security Income is an alternative Social Security disability program. There is no work history qualification requirement for SSI. Instead, a person’s eligibility for benefits is based on medical evidence and their financial needs. If you need help navigating an SSI claim or SSI appeal, please do not hesitate to contact our Idaho Social Security disability attorney.

Understanding How Disability is Defined By the SSA

Defining disability is a complicated matter—at least for Social Security purposes. A wide array of different medical conditions can qualify for SSDI or SSI benefits—but you will need comprehensive and compelling medical evidence. The Social Security Administration (SSA) defines disability as the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity due to a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that is expected to last for at least 12 months or result in death. The definition emphasizes that the impairment must significantly limit one’s ability to perform basic work activities. Our Idaho Social Security disability lawyer can help you gather medical records so that you have all of the information needed to support a strong claim.

We Can Help You With All Stages of Social Security Disability Appeal in Idaho

Did you know that many initial Social Security claims are denied by the Social Security Administration (SSA)? Indeed, the agency’s own data shows that around 7 in 10 initial disability claims are rejected. As frustrating as that is, a denial is not the end of the process. Many Social Security disability denials are eventually overturned on appeal. You do not have to accept an adverse decision from the SSA. You have the right to appeal a denial of benefits. Whether your claim was denied on medical grounds or technical grounds, our Idaho Social Security disability lawyer is standing by, ready to help you take action. Our firm represents clients through all stages of the Social Security disability appeals process, including reconsideration, an administrative law judge (ALJ) hearing, an appeals council hearing, and federal litigation. If your benefits were denied, do not give up on the process without first speaking to an Idaho Social Security disability appeals attorney.
