Brad Collins and the whole firm were able to help me win my disability case after having to appeal. They went above and beyond to make sure we had tracked down every bit of pertinent information for the case, kept me up to date on the case and its progress, and ultimately helped me feel like I would get through the process and that I had a chance to get my life back on track after becoming disabled. I would recommend them to anyone who asked, whether they are friend, family or stranger.

Attorney Collins worked with me throughout the whole process of getting me disability. He helped me file and dealt with all of the appeals as well as getting all the necessary documents that was needed. Although my case should have been easy, it wasn’t, and he fought hard until we finally won. I would recommend him to anyone needing disability.

Do I Qualify for Disability?
In our practice as Advance, NC Disability Lawyers, we are often asked: “Do I qualify for disability?” We have answered that question before on our blog, but it’s always good to revisit Social Security’s definition of a disability:
The definition of disability under Social Security is different than other programs. Social Security pays only for total disability. There are no payments for partial disability or for short-term disability.
The Social Security Administration considers you disabled under Social Security rules if:
- You cannot do work that you did before;
- They decide that you cannot adjust to other work because of your medical condition(s); and
- Your disability has lasted or is expected to last for at least one year or to result in death.
This is a strict definition of disability. Social Security program rules assume that working families have access to other resources to provide support during periods of short-term disabilities, including workers’ compensation, insurance, savings, and investments.
While this definition is clear, there are many reasons you may or may not qualify for disability. It’s important to work with a professional to avoid mistakes and missed deadlines. If you have a severe physical or mental condition preventing you from working for 12 months or more, contact us today. Let us assess your situation. We will help you apply for any Social Security Disability Insurance benefits you qualify for or appeal a denied disability claim. There is no fee unless we win.
What is a Typical Disability Payment?
The payment disability claimants receive depends on which Social Security program they qualify for. The federal Social Security Disability Insurance Program (SSDI) pays benefits based on your average lifetime earnings. The federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program pays benefits based on the SSI federal benefit rate less any countable income you may have.
The AIME determines your monthly benefit amount for SSDI. Generally speaking, the more you have in qualified earnings, the more your benefit will be. The max monthly payment for SSDI in 2022 is $3,333.
Maximum Federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment amounts increase with the cost-of-living increases that apply to Social Security benefits. The latest such increase, 5.9 percent, becomes effective January 2022.
For 2022, the maximum benefit is $841 monthly for individuals, and $1,261 for eligible couples.
