What Our Clients Say

Because the success of any legal matter depends on the unique circumstances of each case: we cannot guarantee particular results for future clients based on successes we have achieved in past legal matters.
How Much Money Do You Get On Disability?
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.

Do I Qualify for Disability?
In our practice as High Point 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 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.
While this definition is clear, there are many reasons you may or may not qualify for disability. It’s important to work with an experienced disability lawyer to avoid mistakes and missed deadlines. If you have a severe physical or mental condition that has or may prevent you from working for 12 months or longer, contact us today. Let us assess your situation and help you get any Social Security Disability Insurance benefits you may be entitled to. There is no fee unless we win.
