Social Security Disability Attorney in Charleston

Yes, you may be able to return to work even as you receive disability benefits. However, certain actions could jeopardize your eligibility for benefits. Speak with an experienced disability benefits attorney to evaluate your options before going to work. 

An attorney will review your case and advise you on the best way forward. For example, your salary could influence your eligibility for benefits. Other times, it could influence your taxes. An attorney will review all these factors and ensure you do not lose your benefits even as you work.

The main difference between Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Insurance is how long the disabled individual has worked over the last 10 years. If the individual has not worked at all in the past 10 years or has not earned enough work credits, they may be eligible for Social Security Insurance. On the other hand, Social Security Disability is for disabled individuals who have earned enough work credits and paid taxes via their employer over the last 10 years. 

The SSA might deny you benefits for different reasons. Some of the most common reasons include:

• Lack of enough medical documentation to prove disability
• Failure to complete the application forms correctly
• The applicant earns more than the salary cap defined by the SSA
• The applicant does not seek regular medical treatment with a medical expert
• The applicant’s condition can be cured in under 12 months
