Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Lawyer Baton Rouge LA | Social Security Disability Benefits Attorney Louisiana

Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

Baton Rouge SSI Lawyers

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits are available for individuals who are disabled or blind, or those over the age of 65. SSI benefits are based on need, and not on an individual's work history as with Social Security Disability (SSD).

At Derren S. Johnson & Associates, we help clients in the Baton Rouge area with both SSDI and SSI-related matters. It is possible to apply for SSI benefits at the same time as applying for SSDI. If you have been denied benefits, we can help you appeal the decision through a "Request for Reconsideration." Working with an attorney at this stage may be critical in the success of your claim.

Denied Benefits

Most initial applications for SSD and SSI benefits are denied. The claimant has the right to appeal the decision by making a "Request for Reconsideration." When a SSI appeal is properly prepared and argued, the claimant has a very good chance of obtaining approval of the claim.

The attorneys of Derren S. Johnson & Associates have years of experience helping clients with denied SSI claims. We know how to present a claim using the language demanded by the government, and can represent clients before the administrative law judge who will hear the appeal.

The process of applying for SSI benefits can be long and confusing. We invite you to contact our office for answers to your questions about SSI. Even if you think you don't qualify, we can evaluate your chances of obtaining benefits through SSI.

We can also guide you through the process of seeking Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits, and SSD appeals if your claim is denied.
