What Do I Need To Do To Get My SSDI Benefits in North Carolina?
If your disability has kept you out of work for more than a year, you may think you are eligible for SSDI benefits. The Social Security Administration (SSA), however, requires strict medical evidence to prove eligibility. When you file an online application on the SSA’s website or go to a regional office, you will need:
- The names and addresses of doctors and hospitals you have been to during the past few years
- A list of medications that you are taking, according to doctors’ orders
- A list of tests that you have undergone and detailed results
It is also important that you discuss your potential claim with your doctor before you file, because his or her diagnosis will carry significant weight when the SSA evaluates your claim. It is important that your doctor is clear with you about your diagnosis and provides you with the supporting evidence you need.
Our attorneys can walk you through the process, making sure you have a strong claim. If your claim is denied, we can represent you in the appeals process, just like we have successfully done for countless clients through the years.
