We Handle the All Types of Social Security Disability Cases in Texas

We Will Help You Obtain Social Security Disability Benefits in Texas

Social Security Law Group is a boutique, highly esteemed legal practice that is devoted to helping Social Security disability claimants and their families. We have helped tens of thousands of people secure their benefits over the last decade. Our unwavering commitment is to champion the causes of people and families through every aspect of the Social Security disability claims process in Texas. Along with other legal matters, our Texas Social Security disability lawyers have experience with:  

  • Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): SSDI is the primary federal Social Security disability program. It is designed to provide ongoing financial support to people who can no longer work due to a qualifying disability. Though, you must have an adequate work history—with reference to your age at the time of application—to qualify for SSDI benefits. We have extensive experience handling SSDI claims and appeals in Texas. For a free, no-obligation consultation, please contact our SSDI attorney in Texas today.
  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI): SSI is an alternative to SSDI. It is a fully needs-based disability program—meaning, unlike with SSDI, there is no work requirement with SSI. To get approved for SSI benefits through a Texas Social Security claim, an applicant must prove both disability (medical records) and financial eligibility (limited income and limited resources). Contact our Texas Social Security disability lawyer today for a free review of an SSI claim. 
  • Child Disability Claims: Does your child have a disability? Benefits may be available through the Social Security disability program. We have the professional experience and expertise to take on all types of child disability cases. Contact our Texas Social Security disability attorneys for a free, no-obligation review of a child disability case. 
  • Survivor’s (Widow’s) Benefits: The loss of a spouse is never easy. Through Social Security disability, survivor’s (widow’s) benefits can provide some much-needed financial support. Our Texas Social Security disability lawyers help to facilitate the survivor’s ability to tap into the full available Social Security benefits due to them. Contact our Texas Social Security disability attorneys today for a free, confidential consultation. 
  • Medicare Issues: We also provide high-end, justice-driven legal support to people navigating Medicare concerns. Many people who are on SSDI or SSI also qualify for Medicare. However, navigating these types of cases can be challenging. Our Texas Social Security disability attorneys can help to ensure that you are best able to protect your best interests.

Our Firm Handles Social Security Disability Appeals in Texas

The denial of Social Security disability claims in Texas is hard to deal with. It can put a real financial burden on your family. Was your claim denied? As daunting as it can be and as aggravating as it feels, you have the right to file an appeal. There are actually several different levels of the SSD claims process in Texas. Here are four successive phases of SSDI/SSI appeals: 

  1. Request for Reconsideration: More than two-thirds of Social Security disability claims in Texas are initially denied. The first stage of the appeals process is a request for reconsideration by the SSA. This phase entails a comprehensive review of your claim by a representative who was uninvolved in the preliminary decision. You can submit additional evidence to support your claim during the reconsideration process.
  2. Administrative Law Judge Hearing: Was your reconsideration of an SSDI or SSI claim denied in Texas? You have the ability to escalate your appeal up to an administrative law judge. You should be represented by an experienced Texas Social Security disability legal lawyer during your administrative law judge (ALJ) hearing. 
  3. Appeals Council Review Hearing: The third stage of a Social Security disability appeal is a review before a full appeals council. The council is a body made up of administrative law judges. The council holds the discretion to render judgment on your case or remand it to an administrative law judge. 
  4. Federal Court Review (Litigation): Finally, you always have the right to take your Social Security disability appeal in Texas to court. Federal court litigation is the final step in the SSDI or SSI claims process. Our Texas Social Security disability attorney has the skills and experience to represent clients in federal litigation.
