The Challenges of Obtaining Disability Benefits
Getting disability benefits can be a real challenge. The application process is complex and often frustrating. You must provide detailed medical records and proof of your condition, which takes time and effort. Many people face denials on their first try, adding stress and discouragement. Even small mistakes in your paperwork can lead to delays or rejections.
Navigating the appeals process can feel overwhelming without the proper support. Staying persistent and working with an experienced attorney who understands the Social Security system is essential. This journey may be tough, but with the right guidance, you can increase your chances of success.

What Disability Benefits Are Available in Michigan?
The SSA offers two disability programs—Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
To qualify for SSDI, you must meet the medical and technical eligibility criteria. This means you have a disability. The SSA defines this as a medical impairment that is expected to (1) last at least one year or result in your death and (2) prevent you from performing any substantial gainful activity (SGA). Also, you must have paid into the Social Security system through income tax deductions and have earned sufficient work credits based on your employment history.
Supplemental Security
Income (SSI)
SSI is available to individuals who are blind, disabled, or over the age of 65. SSI is available regardless of whether you have worked and contributed to the Social Security system. However, it is a means-tested program, meaning your income and financial resources cannot exceed a specific threshold.
Suppose you are between 50 and 62, have worked 5 out of the last ten years, and have developed a medical condition that prevents you from returning to your job. In this situation, you may be eligible for SSDI if you meet the SSA’s stringent requirements. Let Grech Law Firm guide you through the process and secure the financial and medical resources you need.
