Social Security Disability Tulsa

The lawyers at Social Security Law Center possess the knowledge and skills necessary to handle all your social security disability claims. Since 1990, we have been the leading social security law firm, providing reliable services in Oklahoma, Bartlesville, and Tulsa. You may be eligible for social security benefits if your health prevents you from working. We aggressively assist people seeking Social Security Disability (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.

Qualifying for Social Security Disability Benefits

If you suffer a physical or mental disability that makes you unable to carry out a gainful activity, you may apply for the social security disability benefits. The impairment should be expected to last for a minimum of 12 months or cause death. You are disabled if you can’t work due to a medical condition or an illness that is life-threatening and is expected to last for not less than one year. A disability like blindness is also eligible for social security disability benefits. If you aren’t sure whether your disability qualifies for SSDI, our lawyers can guide you.

Applying for Social Security Disability Tulsa

When applying for social security disability in Tulsa, you can choose to hire a disability lawyer or go it alone. If you choose to go it alone, you file the application online or contact the nearest social security office by telephone (their offices are still closed to the public). However, it’s advisable to file a disability claim through a lawyer because this will increase your chances of success. You have to supply the SSA with all your medical records, work information, tax details, and other relevant information. Our lawyers who are familiar with the social security disability application process will make the process much easier.

When Your SSDI Application is Denied

Upon the first application, most social security disability claims are denied. The rate of denial of social security claims in Tulsa is extremely high. After the denial of the initial application, our lawyers will help you file a reconsideration or appeal within 60 days. If you choose to go it alone, there is a high chance that the reconsideration will also be denied. This is why you need the help of an experienced disability lawyer to guide you through the process. Your chances of succeeding during the appeal will depend on your understanding of the process and the evidence available to support your claim. At the Social Security Law Center, we take the hassle out of the claim process. Contact our social security disability lawyers for a free consultation.

How Long the Process Will Take

How long will the claim process for social security disability benefits in Tulsa take? The initial application takes between four and six months, depending on the available medical evidence. The reconsideration process could take between one and six months if the initial claim is denied. If your claim is denied at the reconsideration process, it may take between 6 and 12 months to get your case to get a hearing before an ALJ.
