Frequently Asked Questions
What does a social security disability lawyer in Walnut Creek do?
A lawyer helps you prepare and file your initial application, gather medical evidence, and represent you at hearings. They also handle appeals if your claim is denied. In California, the process can take months, so legal guidance can be valuable.
How long do I have to appeal a denied claim in California?
You have 60 days from the date you receive the denial notice to file an appeal with the Social Security Administration. Missing this deadline can require starting over. A lawyer can ensure your appeal is filed on time.
What are the eligibility requirements for SSDI in California?
You must have a medical condition that prevents you from working for at least 12 months or is expected to result in death. You also need enough work credits based on your age and work history. California does not have its own SSDI program, but state disability insurance may offer temporary help.
