What is SSD Eligibility?

To qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), you must meet both medical and work-related requirements. Social Security looks at whether your condition is severe, long-lasting, and limiting enough to prevent you from performing work that can provide a gainful income. You must also have enough work credits earned through previous employment that paid into Social Security.

You may be eligible for SSDI if:

• Your medical condition is expected to last at least one year or be terminal or permanent.
• You cannot return to your past relevant work.
• You cannot reasonably adjust to new forms of work due to your limitations.
• You have earned enough work credits.
• Your condition meets or equals a Listed impairment.
• Your functional restrictions significantly reduce your ability to maintain full-time work.

How We Can Help With Your SSD Claim

For many applicants, filing an SSD claim is one of the most important steps they will take toward long-term stability after experiencing a disabling medical condition. We can help you prepare and present your case in a way that makes everything clear for you and any SSA assessor who views your claim.

Our legal support can include:

• Reviewing and organizing medical evidence, so your records clearly reflect your diagnosis, symptoms, and functional limitations.
• Identifying missing or inconsistent documentation that could lead to avoidable denials.
• Gathering additional statements or records from treating providers to clarify complex or poorly understood medical conditions.
• Explaining how your symptoms affect your daily functioning so your claim reflects the full impact of your condition.
• Correcting work credit errors by reviewing your earnings history, gathering payroll or tax records, and requesting corrections from Social Security.
• Evaluating residual functional capacity (RFC) assessments to identify unsupported assumptions or inaccuracies.
• Challenging flawed RFC findings by comparing them to medical evidence, documented symptoms, and your real-world functional limits.
• Preparing and filing SSD appeals, including reconsideration requests, hearings before administrative law judges, Appeals Council reviews, and federal court actions when appropriate.
• Explaining justified noncompliance with medical treatment, such as cost constraints, side effects, or other barriers.
• Providing clear, consistent communication so you understand every stage of the process and know what information is needed next.
• Managing deadlines and paperwork.

SSDI Benefits in Colorado

If you qualify for SSDI, you may receive several financial and medical benefits designed to provide long-term support. These benefits are consistent across all states, including Colorado, because the SSDI program is federally administered.

SSDI benefits may include:

• Monthly disability payments based on your past earnings
• Retroactive benefits for qualifying months before you applied
• Additional benefits for certain dependents, such as children or spouses
• Cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) to help keep pace with inflation
• Medicare coverage, available after a waiting period for most beneficiaries
