Did You Know?

  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) have different eligibility requirements and benefit amounts. To learn more about these programs, visit here.
  • Appeals are common in disability cases. Approximately 65% of initial applications are denied, making legal advocacy essential.
  • One common reason for denial is not following prescribed treatment plans. It’s vital to follow your doctor's recommendations for medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes.
  • If you have been denied or terminated from SSD/SSI benefits, LASMNY will investigate your case for merit and determine if we can represent you at your hearing.
