We begin with a free, no-obligation consultation to evaluate your situation, determine your eligibility, and explain your best pathway forward—whether filing for SSDI, SSI, or both. Once engaged, we handle all paperwork, gather detailed medical evidence, and ensure your application is complete and persuasive. If you’ve already been denied, we manage the mandatory reconsideration step and can file appeals on your behalf. For hearings before an Administrative Law Judge, our lawyers prepare compelling documentation and represent you every step of the way.

Who Qualifies for Social Security Disability Benefits?

 

To qualify for SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance), you must have worked long enough to earn sufficient work credits—typically 5 out of the last 10 years—and have a medically determinable physical or mental impairment expected to last at least 12 months or result in death. Your condition must prevent you from engaging in "substantial gainful activity" (SGA), such as full-time employment.

​

SSI (Supplemental Security Income), on the other hand, is available to disabled individuals of limited income and resources, regardless of work history. Our Conway Social Security lawyers carefully evaluate your eligibility under both programs, ensuring no detail is overlooked during your application.

​

We also assist with claims involving mental health disorders, chronic illnesses, physical injuries, and conditions such as:

Back injuries and spinal disorders

PTSD, anxiety, or depression

Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome

Heart disease, stroke, or cancer

Neurological conditions like epilepsy or MS
