At the Law Offices of Norman J. Homen, we assist individuals in Garden Grove who are unable to work due to a disabling medical or mental condition. Applying for Social Security Disability benefits can be overwhelming, especially if you are already facing a denial. We have over 30 years of experience handling SSDI and SSI claims across California and are here to support you through the entire process.
Understanding SSDI and SSI
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is designed for individuals who have worked and contributed to the Social Security system. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is based on financial need and available to those with limited income and resources. Our team evaluates your eligibility and helps you file the appropriate claim, ensuring that nothing is missed.
Common Reasons Disability Claims Are Denied
Many disability claims are denied the first time. Some of the most frequent reasons include:
- Missing or incomplete medical records
- Inaccurate or incomplete application forms
- Not following prescribed treatments
- Exceeding income or asset limits
We address these issues early and prepare a strong case to increase your chances of success.
The Social Security Disability Process
We represent Garden Grove residents at every step of the process:
- Initial Application: We assist in filing a complete and accurate claim.
- Reconsideration: If denied, we file an appeal and strengthen your case with additional evidence.
- Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Hearing: We prepare you for the hearing and represent you before the judge.
- Further Appeals: If needed, we pursue your claim at the Appeals Council or in federal court.
Our firm handles all paperwork and communication with the SSA so you do not have to.
What We Do for You
Our legal team provides:
- Full case evaluation and documentation
- Coordination with your medical providers for updated records
- Legal representation at all stages
- Ongoing updates and answers to your questions
We focus on helping you build the strongest possible case with clear, consistent support.
How Long Will the Process Take?
Initial application decisions can take several months. Appeals and hearings may extend the process further. We manage deadlines closely and keep your case on track with as few delays as possible.
No Upfront Costs
You pay nothing up front for our services. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we are only paid if we win your case. All fees are regulated and approved by the Social Security Administration.
