What Is Evidence Of Total Disability?

    In order to qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you must meet certain basic criteria. These benefits are available only to people who are permanently and totally disabled; they are not available to people who are partially or temporarily disabled.

    What Evidence Do You Need To Show To The Social Security Administration (SSA) To Prove That You Are Totally Disabled Under The Law?

    At the law office of The Law Offices of Rabin, Kodner & Brown, Ltd., our lawyers help people obtain SSDI and SSI benefits from our offices throughout Chicago and northern Illinois.

    To be successful, you must demonstrate to the SSA three things:

    • You are unable to do the same work as before your disease
    • Your medical conditions prevent you from adjusting to other work
    • This medical condition is expected to last at least one year or cause death

    The Step-By-Step Approach In Determining Your Eligibility

    The process of determining whether a person’s medical condition is totally disabling can be complex. The SSA will examine a host of evidence about your health and employment. It is important to work with a medical specialist to create a record of your condition. Seeing your primary care doctor may not be sufficient; he or she may not be able to provide a sufficiently credible opinion on your total disability.

    The questions that the SSA asks when you seek Social Security are:

    • Are you currently working? You have to be earning, on average, less than Social Security’s current definition of work.
    • Are you suffering from a severe medical condition? Your condition must interfere with your basic work-related activities.
    • Does your condition meet or equal the listing of disabling conditions?
    • Can you do the work that you previously did? If you can, you may not be eligible for benefits.
    • Are you able to perform any other type of work? If you can, you may be eligible for benefits.

    My experience with Jeffrey A Rabin has been very good.

    My approval of Social Security disability benefits came much quicker than I had expected. I first met with an associate on April 16, 2020 and we filed my application on May 21, 2020. My application was approved on August 3, 2020, only around a four month process. Even though we were at the beginning of this coronavirus outbreak when we started, it was easy to contact them and complete this process.

    It meant a lot to me every time I called and whoever I talked to knew all about my case. It was wonderful that I didn’t get pushed from one person to another. Your staff was always happy; they acted like they personally know me. But most of all I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW FAST YOU HAD MY CASE DONE. You and your staff really put a smile on my face. Thank you for doing what I couldn’t get done. Everyone will know Jeffrey A. Rabin & Associate

    This was an outstanding experience for me from my first appointment to the last.

    This Law Firm was very professional kind and considerate of me and my disability. They knew exactly what it was like for me in the real world and absolutely essential to help me explain that and my disability to the Social Security Administration. I definitely could not have done this without them and they have changed my life for the better forever. In my eyes they are the best social security disability law firm in Chicago and the suburbs.

    I filed for my disability and got denied twice. So I decided that I needed help of a lawyer.

    I began to search and in the process of me searching I always look @ the reviews if I see more bad than good reviews I move on to the next, but not with these guys I didn’t they helped me thru the whole process and assured me if there was a problem or concern I had to reach out and they would help me anyway they could, I dealt with with a few ppl there in the office I must say from the receptionist down to the paralegals they are awesome...

    I wanted to say thank you for everything that you did for me, I greatly appreciate it.

    You believed in me when a lot and social security did not. I was a risk for you to pay for my medical records, not knowing if you would win, if I had not won you would have been out of a lot of money and time. I have known other attorney’s, and have worked with them in the past, but they are nothing like you! You are a very kind generous human being with compassion. I pray that God will bless you practice and make you very successful ...
