Social Security Disability OKC
If you have physical or mental problems that are keeping you from working, you may qualify for social security disability benefits in Oklahoma City. Our team has represented individuals who can no longer work, helping them to obtain benefits, a process that is often time-consuming and difficult to go through alone. Our disability lawyers in OKC have a comprehensive understanding of the Social Security system and will help you navigate this process until you are awarded the benefits you deserve.
Are you eligible for SSI or SSDI in OKC?
If you have a low income or are older than 65 years, you may still qualify for disability benefits under the SSI program. This program is specifically designed for individuals who haven’t paid enough income tax to qualify for SSDI. Our experienced Oklahoma City social security disability lawyers can help you avoid common mistakes in your application that could lead to a denial.
SSD or SSDI is the main disability program put in place for workers who have gained substantial work experience and are now unable to work due to physical and mental impairments. To qualify for these benefits, you must show that your injury is severe enough to prevent you from engaging in employment.
What medical conditions are considered severe enough for SSDI?
At our law office, we evaluate every case and provide a personalized approach to each client. Even though every case is evaluated individually, there are those disabilities and medical conditions that are highly likely to qualify for SSDI benefits. Some of them include blindness, heart disease, osteoarthritis, chronic pain, stroke paralysis, severed limbs, and fibromyalgia.
Why has your social security disability claim been denied?
If you submitted an SSDI application only to receive a rejection, don’t give up. We know that the appeals process can seem complex and confusing, but our team is here to help. SSDI applications get denied numerous times because of mistakes that could be avoided during the process. The Social Security Administration receives millions of applications every year, so it’s not uncommon to hear they’ve denied benefits to many applicants.
Some of the reasons for claims denial include:
- You are no longer disabled (you have fully recovered)
- The SSA deems your injury as short term or not as serious as you claim
- The SSA has concerns regarding the accuracy of your diagnosis
- The typical recovery period has lapsed, and you should have fully recovered
- You are still able to go back to work even though you haven’t fully recovered
The best way to address a denial is to contact an attorney who specializes in Social Security OKC.

Our team will ensure that your application is submitted on time and all records are provided.
