Pursuing SSDI Benefits

The Disability Insurance (SSDI) program is a government initiative designed to provide financial support to individuals who are unable to work due to a severe and long-term medical condition. Our firm has extensive experience and expertise in disability and personal injury law, and we are available to help you navigate the complex SSDI application process.

To be entitled to SSDI benefits, an applicant must meet both the earnings requirement and the medical requirement. The earnings requirement is based on the number of years an individual has worked and contributed to the Social Security disability system, while the medical requirement involves proving the existence of a "severe medical impairment(s)" that prevents the individual from performing any substantial gainful activity for at least one year or that is expected to result in death.

Our Maine Social Security lawyer, Russell J. Goldsmith, can advise you on your entitlement to collect SSDI benefits. If your application is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision, and our firm can provide legal assistance throughout the entire process, from initial claim to the appeals process, including a Request for Reconsideration, a Request for Hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, an appeal before the Appeals Council, and a Federal District Court appeal.

At the Law Offices of Russell J. Goldsmith, we understand the challenges of pursuing SSDI benefits, and we are committed to helping you obtain the benefits you deserve. Our fees are contingent upon a favorable decision, and we are dedicated to providing quality legal representation and personal attention to each client.
