Statistically speaking, a majority of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability (SSD/SSDI) claims are denied at the initial claim and reconsideration stages. Denials usually occur regardless of whether or not there was an attorney representing the claimant. Therefore, most SSI and SSDI claims have to be presented to an administrative law judge (ALJ) in a hearing before the claimant can be awarded benefits.
In order to receive Social Security disability benefits, a claimant must be able to prove numerous factors about their mental or physical health condition. The condition prevents them from earning enough money for their work to be considered a "substantial gainful activity.". To be eligible, a claimant must also have worked and paid into Social Security.
