Your Trusted Advocate for Social Security Disability in Palmdale, CA

Your regular Palmdale Social Security Disability benefits may be the only thing keeping you and your family afloat after you’ve been injured on the job. The payments are meant to provide income for you when you’re unable to work for a year or longer due to a qualifying mental or physical condition.
But even when you’re eligible for the benefit, you may still face frustrating denials — many valid claims are initially rejected.
Don’t take on the Social Security Administration (SSA) alone. Disability law can be complex, and if you have to re-file an application and medical records or argue at an appeal hearing, you need serious legal talent on your side.
Hiring a skilled Palmdale Social Security disability benefits attorney, like those at the Kenton Koszdin Law Office, can help take those burdens off your shoulders. In fact, people who hire a lawyer to appeal a claims decision by the SSA are up to three times more likely to have a successful outcome — so call now!

Dedicated to Securing Your Social Security Disability Benefits

As your Social Security disability lawyer, we navigate the claims and appeals process on your behalf, so you can rest and concentrate on healing. We manage the process for you and help ensure that no errors, omissions of medical records, or missed filing deadlines keep you from getting your disability claim approved.
Our legal services include:

If the SSA denies your initial claim, you have the right to appeal the decision.

There are four levels of appeals open to you after the claim denial:

  • Reconsideration: When we request that the SSA reconsider your initial filed claim within 60 days of the denial
  • Administrative Law Judge (ALJ): When you attend a hearing before an administrative law judge who hears a prepared argument from your Social Security disability benefits lawyer and your own testimony as to why you should get benefits
  • Appeals Council: Where you may submit an appeal in writing, and your Social Security lawyer submits a petition on your behalf
  • Federal Court: Where you file a lawsuit if you cannot get a resolution any other way

As your Palmdale SSDI lawyer, we help you through the appeals process.

What Type of Conditions Do We Work With?

SSDI provides monthly benefits for people who cannot work for at least a year due to a physical or mental medical condition or a workplace injury or illness. Your maximum benefit is determined by your payroll taxes — the SSI portion withheld from your check — up to a maximum cap, which changes each year.
To claim SSDI benefits, you must provide medical evidence of being disabled and unable to work and that your disability prevents you from working for at least a year.
Although many people seek SSDI benefits because of job-related injuries, workplace injuries aren’t the only qualifying medical conditions. The SSA lists many eligible medical conditions that someone can file a disability claim for, including:

  • Herniated discs or back problems
  • Cancer
  • Respiratory illnesses
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder
  • Orthopedic injuries
  • Liver failure or kidney disease
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Depression and anxiety

These are only some of the eligible conditions.

What Types of Disability Benefits Are You Eligible For?

SSDI benefits extend not just to the disabled person, but also to their family and in some cases, even their ex-spouse.

Retirement Benefits

Social Security retirement benefits are a form of government pension available to you when you reach retirement age (62). The amount you receive is based on how many eligible years you worked and paid Social Security taxes.

Divorce Benefits

In some cases, you may be able to collect part of your ex-spouse’s benefits if you:

  • Were married at least 10 years
  • Are over age 62
  • Are currently unmarried

You also cannot be eligible for a larger SSI benefit yourself.

Family Benefits

Current spouses and disabled and non-disabled children of someone receiving SSDI benefits may be eligible for benefits payments of up to 50% of what the disabled family member receives, with a family cap of 150-180% of the disabled person’s benefits.

ERISA Benefits

ERISA is a specific type of payment for people who receive the following benefits through their employer:

  • Health insurance policies
  • Long-term disability
  • Disability coverage
  • Retirement benefits
  • Life insurance
  • Pensions

ERISA law is complex, so consult a Social Security disability attorney.

SSI Benefits

Supplemental Security Income is a small SSA stipend for individuals who meet one of these criteria:

  • Blind
  • Disabled
  • Over 65 years of age

This option is for those who haven’t earned or worked enough to be eligible for SSDI benefits.
