How Do I Apply for Social Security Disability?

Applying for SSDI in San Francisco, CA

The Social Security Administration is responsible for handling all matters related to social security income and social security disability. Throughout our working careers, we all contribute a small portion of our paychecks to the social security fund. This is helping pay for the people who are currently receiving social security benefits and the people who are working when you return or become disabled will pay for your share. That is how the system functions.


You will not automatically receive your disability benefits when you qualify for them. You must apply yourself. How do you apply? You visit the Social Security Administration’s disability page, gather all the documentation that they ask for, and submit your application. From there, they will review your information and decide if you qualify for SSDI or not. This can all be done online now. In some cases, you may decide to visit your local Social Security Administration office to file your paperwork.

This is a very valid question that is posed to me nearly every day. I tell all injured workers who are prospective clients the same thing. Namely, where the case is that their injury is beyond simple first aid, or has not completely resolved in a couple months or is even potentially surgical, then a good specialized worker’s comp attorney is a must to protect the applicant’s various rights under the California Labor Code. After all, the insurance adjuster is an expert who handles solely worker’s comp claims for a living. As such, adjusters know all the “ins and outs” of worker’s comp law to benefit their insurance company and usually to the detriment of the unrepresented injured worker. This is simply how they’ve been trained and often they have been trained to mislead the injured worker/applicant. If you know very little about cars, wouldn’t you feel a lot safer going to a reputable mechanic rather than servicing your own brakes? The same rule applies here. The insurance company is comprised of experts to serve the insurance carrier’s interests, NOT yours as the injured worker. That is where the Law Office if Nicholas Sheedy comes in. We hold the insurance companies’ feet to the fire daily for our clients. When an adjuster will not authorize something medically necessary, my office first makes demands, then files Petitions for Penalties promptly against the insurance carrier and proceed towards trial. Often, we are in court in matter of a couple weeks to try the matter and gain our clients’ much needed medical care. There are specific rules the insurance company must follow. If they don’t, we hold them and keep them fully accountable. -Nicholas Sheedy The Law Office of Nicholas Sheedy is Protecting Your Rights If you were injured on the job you are entitled to receive workers' compensation benefits from your employer's insurance company. Workers' compensation is designed to provide you with the medical treatment and rehabilitation you need to recover from your work-related injury, replace the wages you lose while you are recovering, and help you return to work. We have successfully handled claims for a wide range of injuries including: Fractures Paralysis Traumatic Brain Injuries Burns Although you may be receiving a workers' compensation check, it does not mean that your rights are protected.
