Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions Fort Wayne residents may have about Social Security Disability benefits.

What is Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)?
SSDI is a federal program that provides monthly benefits to people who can’t work due to a disability. To qualify, you must have worked and paid Social Security taxes for a certain period and have a medical condition that prevents substantial gainful activity.
Do you offer free SSDI consultations?
Yes, we offer free consultations to evaluate your SSDI case and discuss your legal options.
Who’s eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI)?
SSI is a needs-based program for disabled individuals with limited income and resources. Unlike SSDI, you don’t need work credits to qualify, but there are strict financial eligibility requirements.
How long does the Social Security disability process take?
Initial applications typically take 3-6 months. If denied and you need to appeal, the process can take 12-24 months total. Having an experienced attorney can help meet important deadlines and answer any questions you may have along the way. Learn more about wait times for hearings.
What should I do if my initial application is denied?
Don’t give up! Most initial applications are denied, but many are approved throughout the appeals process. You have 60 days to file for Reconsideration. This is when having an experienced attorney becomes crucial. Get help evaluating your denial letter.

Tonya Good
I had filed for SSDI twice on my own and got denied. After reading the reviews for this office I knew I wanted to have them help me. Robert was absolutely so kind and so professional, whenever I had a question or just needed to vent. Last week I was approved and I am so very happy I chose this firm! He helped me prepare for my ALJ hearing so that I knew exactly what to expect. I was nervous but I really did feel prepared when it was time for the hearing. Thank you to Robert and everyone for all of their hard work and dedication to my case! I’m a very happy client!
Kathi Hoffmeister
I would highly recommend this Disability attorney’s office I had tremendous luck with them and the professionalism and kindness I was shown was above and beyond. The prep I received for my hearing from Scott Lewis was I think the difference between me winning my case and not winning my case. I will be forever grateful for all of their help.
