What’s Your Case Worth? 844-576-2116

Did you suffer a disabling injury or were diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition that stops you in your tracks? Once you realize that you cannot work, it can be even more terrifying. How will you care for your family’s needs?
At TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers, our Tennessee SSDI lawyers work very closely with clients who have been denied or need to apply for Social Security Disability Income (SSDI). The Social Security Administration (SSA) does not make this process easy, but we can help ensure you have the best possible chance of receiving the funds you deserve.
Never hesitate to call (901) 883-7615 to discuss how our Tennessee team can benefit your SSDI claim.
SSDI is not simple to obtain. The SSA does everything it can to verify that those receiving these benefits actually need them, but for a person with a serious medical condition, these steps to prove your losses can seem impossible. With the experience our SSDI attorneys in Tennessee bring to the table, you will know exactly what you need to do to qualify for your medical condition.
Our SSDI attorneys in Tennessee are happy to meet with you to discuss your case in our office in Memphis, just down the street from the I-240 interchange on Poplar Avenue. We can also provide you with a phone call consultation. When we do, we will always be honest and upfront with you about your legal options, the requirements under the law for your specific medical condition, and the limitations that can hold you back. If we can prove that you are owed benefits – even if you have been denied in the past, we will do so.
The value of SSDI to you is dependent on the amount of money you have contributed to SSA throughout your working years. The more you put in, the more you may qualify to receive monthly payments. This ranges from $700 to $1800 for most people in Tennessee. Most often, you will have to have been out of work for at least five months before you can begin to receive compensation through SSDI.
In some situations, you may also be eligible for payments sooner, for example, if you have a qualifying compass Tate care condition. More so, if we can prove that you are owed benefits, even after being denied, you may be eligible to receive back pay, which can mean a significant lump sum to you.
If you are disabled due to an illness or accident, and you are not likely to recover enough to go back to work, you may be eligible to file for SSDI. There are numerous requirements you have to meet to receive benefits, though, and there is no promise of approval until and unless you ensure the most accurate and thorough application possible.
To get started, you must meet the eligibility requirements for SSDI, which include the following:
In these situations, where you have an injury that limits your ability to work, you have to demonstrate to SSA that you meet the requirements. To do that, you need to show that you have enough contributions to SSA from your working years.
In Tennessee, most people qualify for SSDI (with a qualifying condition) if they have 40 work credits. The SSA will provide you with one work credit for every $1730 in income you report during 2024 (this number changes from one year to the next). You can earn a maximum of 4 work credits per year. That means that if you earn $6920 in a year, you will have received four work credits for that year.
If you are unsure if you have enough work credits, you can reach out to our SSDI Tennessee attorneys to discuss your case. We will always be open and honest with you about your rights to benefits.
Remember that there is more to obtaining SSDI than just having enough work credits. You must also have a condition that meets SSDI requirements. The SSA creates a master list of medical conditions that qualify, including not just the conditions but also the specific symptoms, diagnostic results, and limitations that would make you eligible for SSDI. If you do not meet these requirements, you cannot obtain SSDI.
Our Tennessee SSDI attorneys fully recognize the challenges this can bring to any situation, especially if your symptoms might be difficult to represent in your claim. Yet, we will do everything we can to prove that you are owed benefits by gathering evidence, speaking to medical experts, and providing all necessary documentation to back up your claim. Some of the conditions we can help you to obtain SSDI for include:
If you believe you meet these requirements, we strongly urge you to set up a free consultation with our attorneys for immediate help.
Working with well-qualified Tennessee SSDI attorneys allows us to help you navigate the numerous limitations that SSA puts on those applying for benefits. We know how to prove that you are owed these benefits and have experience ensuring that our clients receive the full benefits they are entitled to, even in difficult situations.
