Applying for SSDI

When you find yourself in a position where you have to apply for social security disability insurance, or SSDI, the process may not seem terribly complicated.  After all, you simply fill out and submit a questionnaire, which seems pretty straightforward.  It’s not uncommon for applicants to assume they can manage the process alone, without the aid of a qualified attorney.

Unfortunately, the majority of claims are denied because the process is much more complex than the average person might assume.  Applicants must provide detailed answers and requested medical information if they want any hope of gaining approval, and often, small errors result in denial.  Even with the assistance of an attorney that specializes in SSDI applications, it’s not easy to gain approval on the initial claim submission.

That said, the caring professionals at the Griese Law Firm have the expertise to guide you through the process, however long it may take, and give you the best chance for a successful outcome.  Here’s what you can expect when you partner with the qualified SSDI specialists at the Griese Law Firm.
