If you reside in Charleston, S.C., and have been diagnosed with a disabling medical condition, you may qualify for federal Social Security disability benefits. The Social Security Administration (SSA) operates two programs —Social Security Disability Insurance (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) —that provide benefits to disabled people who are unable to work because of a disabling condition.
Many people in Charleston who apply for disability benefits and have legitimate claims are rejected initially. Have you been told you don’t qualify for disability benefits? The Social Security Administration has a narrow definition of disability. If you receive a rejection letter after applying for Social Security Disability benefits, you should not give up without contacting our Charleston disability benefits lawyers at Joye Law Firm.

If your particular condition does not match one of the SSA’s listed impairments, you will have to have medical evidence to prove that your condition leaves you incapacitated in a manner consistent with a recognized impairment. Detailed medical records are the foundation of a successful disability claim. Our knowledgeable SSD attorneys can help you obtain an additional medical evaluation to supplement the medical evidence of your disabling condition.
