Your Legal Matter Is Important To Us

Do You Need Help With The SSDI Process?

Applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits when you cannot work due to a serious injury can seem straightforward at first. However, many people quickly find the process tedious, overwhelming and ultimately disheartening. At Worth, Magee & Fisher, we help clients throughout the Lehigh Valley navigate the complexities of SSDI. Our skilled SSDI attorneys personally guide them through the process from start to finish.

Qualifying For SSDI

To obtain SSDI benefits, applicants must meet certain technical requirements established under federal Social Security law. In general, the law states that SSDI applicants must have:

  • A documented physical disability, mental health condition or debilitating illness that prevents them from obtaining “substantial gainful employment” for at least 12 months or that is expected to result in death
  • Insured status, meaning they have worked a sufficient length of time and earned enough money to qualify for Social Security Disability coverage

Our Lehigh County Social Security Disability lawyers, led by Robert J. Magee, help clients determine whether they meet these requirements. We will also assist in gathering the appropriate medical evidence and in filling out the forms needed to apply for disability benefits.
