We Handle the Full Range of Social Security Disability Cases in North Carolina
Social Security Law Group is a law firm that provides comprehensive legal services for the full range of Social Security disability cases in North Carolina. We are dedicated to representing individuals and families through all stages of the complex Social Security disability claims process—from filing for benefits for the first time to all stages of the appeals process. Along with other legal matters, our North Carolina attorneys are prepared to help you with:
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a federal insurance program designed for individuals who have spent a significant portion of their lives in the workforce but are now unable to work due to a disability. We guide clients through the application process, collect and analyze medical evidence, and help build a strong case for their disability claim. If you have any questions about an SSDI claim or an SSDI appeal, contact our North Carolina Social Security disability lawyer for help.
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI): Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is an alternative federal disability program. Unlike SSDI, SSI is not based on an individual’s work history, but rather their financial need. Our team assists eligible low-income individuals who are aged, blind, or disabled, ensuring that they complete the application correctly and gather necessary evidence to increase their chances of approval. Contact our North Carolina Social Security disability attorney today for help with your SSI claim or appeal.
- Child Disability Claims: We also handle child disability claims. These claims require a different approach, as they are based on different criteria than adult disability claims. Our North Carolina Social Security disability attorneys understand the specific requirements for child disability cases and are experienced in navigating this intricate process. Contact our North Carolina child disability lawyers today for help with a case.
- Survivor’s (Widow’s) Benefits: In the event of the untimely death of a spouse, we help survivors access the Social Security benefits they’re entitled to receive. Our compassionate attorneys guide clients through the complexities of Survivor’s (Widow’s) Benefits, ensuring that they understand their rights and options. We provide free consultations.
- Medicare Issues: We also offer legal assistance with Medicare issues. Many individuals who qualify for SSDI or SSI are also eligible for Medicare. However, the rules can be confusing. Our attorneys help clients understand these rules, guide them through the enrollment process, and address any problems that arise with Medicare coverage.

Our Firm Takes On Social Security Disability Appeals in North Carolina
Was your Social Security disability claim already denied? As stressful and frustrating as that can be to deal with, it is crucial that you understand that you are not without legal options. An initial denial of SSD benefits is not the end of the road. Our firm is here to take the reins, guiding clients through the challenging appeals process for SSD claims in North Carolina. We understand the importance of these benefits to your livelihood. We are committed to working diligently to help reverse an unjust denial. The stages of an SSD appeal in North Carolina are as follows:
- Reconsideration: If your initial claim is denied, the first step is to request a reconsideration by the SSA. It is this stage of the process that involves a complete review of your claim by someone who did not participate in the original decision. We help compile and submit the necessary documents and argue for your case’s reassessment.
- A Hearing by an Administrative Law Judge: If the reconsideration is unsuccessful, the next step is to request a hearing before an administrative law judge. Our North Carolina Social Security disability attorneys will prepare you for the hearing, develop a strategy, and present a persuasive case on your behalf.
- Appeals Council Review: If the judge’s decision is unfavorable, you can request a review by the Social Security’s Appeals Council. The council can choose to decide your case or send it back to an administrative law judge. We advocate strongly for your case at this stage.
- Federal Court Review (Litigation): If all else fails, we can file a lawsuit in a federal district court on your behalf. Our firm is experienced in litigating SSD cases, and we’re not afraid to take your case to this level if needed.
