Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
The caring and compassionate injury lawyers at McWhirter, Bellinger & Associates, P.A. in Columbia South Carolina understand how difficult it is to be too sick or injured to work and provide for your family. We have helped many South Carolinians receive the disability benefits to which they are entitled following an accident at work, or after they are made ill because of the type of work they do. We can help you, too, so you can focus on getting better. Just leave the legal matters to us.
South Carolina SSDI is a complex government program that provides financial assistance to those unable to work, but there is a great deal of red tape, deadlines, and paperwork that can make it very difficult for you to receive the benefits you deserve. We understand the system, and we know how the process works. We can assure you that if you qualify for benefits, we will get them for you, and we will get them as soon as possible. Some people wait months, even years, to get benefits they are owed, and some never get them at all. We will work very hard to make sure that does not happen to you.
If you have not yet applied for social security benefits, you can apply at your local social security office, online at www.ssa.gov or call 1-800-772-1213. Once you have completed the application process, you will either be accepted or rejected by Social Security Administration. If you receive a denial, you have 60 days to apply for Reconsideration of their decision. If you are turned down upon Reconsideration, call our office. Please note that this is the normal social security process. There may be circumstances in your case that we are not aware of that may necessitate you hiring an attorney sooner. However, in the normal case, you would contact us after you are denied on your Request for Reconsideration.
McWhirter, Bellinger & Associates typically handle South Carolina personal injury and Workers’ Compensation cases, but we are also experienced in SSDI and will meet with you to discuss the details of your case during a confidential consultation at no cost to you. No one plans to become disabled, and it’s a hard realization to accept. It is also a terrible injustice when people who have worked their whole lives are denied the very benefits they have earned. Don’t let this happen to you; let us fight tooth and nail to get your claim approved. If you have applied for benefits on your own and have been rejected (as most applicants are their first time), please call us so we can make sure you get approved the second time around.
