Frequently Asked Questions
What does a social security disability lawyer in Santa Barbara do?
A social security disability lawyer helps you prepare and file your SSDI or SSI application, gather medical evidence, and represent you at hearings. In California, the lawyer can also assist with appeals to the Appeals Council and federal court if needed.
How long do I have to appeal a denial in California?
You have 60 days from the date you receive a denial notice to file an appeal with the Social Security Administration. This time limit applies to all California residents, including those in Santa Barbara.
Can I get disability benefits for a mental health condition in California?
Yes, the SSA considers mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder when evaluating disability claims. California courts have recognized that mental impairments can be disabling if they prevent substantial gainful activity.
