Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), is a program run by the Social Security Administration that provides monthly benefits for people who have become disabled and are unable to work prior to reaching retirement.

7.3% of Kentucky residents receive social security disability benefits each month.

If you are technically eligible for benefits, your application is sent to Kentucky Disability Determination Services (DDS). Kentucky DDS will make an initial determination about your eligibility. The initial approval rate in Kentucky is 29%. If your claim is denied, the next step is a Reconsideration Review. This is by a reevaluation by a claims examiner at the DDS. If the initial claim and reconsideration are denied, your case will move to the disability hearing stage where an administration law judge hears your case.

Hiring a Social Security Disability lawyer increases your odds of winning your disability case and relieves you of burdensome stress. An attorney can collect and review your medical evidence, ensure your application is complete and correct, and represent you at hearings.
