When you need to apply for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), your best chance for approval entails working with a disability attorney. The Social Security Administration (SSA) only approves 30% of all initial claims each year, so it’s crucial to complete the forms correctly, completely, and include sufficient documentation.
Likewise, if you want to appeal your claim after being denied, knowing what additional information to include can be confusing. An experienced disability lawyer will be able to parse your claim for you and ensure you understand exactly what is required.
The trusted Tennessee disability lawyers at Drozdowski & Rabin, PLLC will help provide the legal guidance and support you need to successfully navigate the disability claims process.

Tennessee Social Security Disability
There are several steps involved in the disability claim process, and having an attorney to guide you through the process helps immensely. From determining eligibility to completing the application and submitting documentation to the appeal process, every step can be overwhelming and feel formidable.
While you can file your claim without legal assistance, knowing only one-third of initial claims are approved indicates having an attorney working for you does make a big difference. Each subsequent step becomes more involved and confusing, and without specific knowledge about disability law, the odds continue to stack against a successful case.
