FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

IS SSDI RIGHT FOR ME?

You must meet several criteria in order to qualify for SSDI. You must be insured
under Social Security, which means you must have worked and paid federal payroll
taxes (FICA) for five of the last 10 years. You must also apply before reaching
full retirement age (65-67), and you must meet Social Security’s definition of
total disability.

WHY WAS MY INITIAL CLAIM FOR BENEFITS DENIED?

Applications can be denied for a variety of reasons. Most often, the claimant is
found to be working above Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) levels during their
application process.

SSA may also determine that there is not enough medical evidence of a disabling
condition, or that a prior application was filed incorrectly.

HOW CAN I INCREASE MY CHANCES OF RECEIVING BENEFITS?

If possible, seek more frequent medical treatment for your condition(s). Keep a
tally of all the physicians you’ve seen over the years and a current list of
medications. Give your physicians ample time to complete Residual Function
Capacity (RFC) questionnaires on your behalf. Call us whenever there are changes
to your medical treatment, or if your condition worsens, so we can request
additional medical records.

WHAT IS AN RFC (RESIDUAL FUNCTION CAPACITY)?

RFC stands for “Residual Function Capacity,” and refers to the maximum amount of
work you can do, despite your mental/physical impairments. The purpose of an RFC
is to determine how your limitations impact your ability to meet the demands and
requirements of the standard workplace. The RFC questionnaire is usually
completed by a Disability Determination Services (DDS) physician, who reviews
the medical records on file, but does not have the opportunity to meet you in
person. We will provide you with mental and physical RFC questionnaires that can
be completed by your physicians, who are most familiar with your limitations.

WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS IF I AM DENIED BENEFITS?

Plenty. Whether you are denied at the initial stage or following an appeal,
contact us and we will help determine what your next step should be. You can
appeal a denial or start the process from scratch by filing a new application.
Our representatives will help determine which option is best for you.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECEIVE A DECISION?

The SSA receives hundreds of thousands of applications each month. It can take 5
to 7 months from the date of the initial application to receive a decision, and
if appeals are necessary, the process can take several years. Applicants must be
patient, but Citizens Disability will work to make the process as quick and easy
as possible.

SHOULD I GO IT ALONE OR SEEK REPRESENTATION?

Independent studies have shown that your odds of receiving a favorable decision
are significantly improved with representation. The Citizens Disability team of
advocates will handle your initial application, stay on top of updates, meet
deadlines, file appeals, write letters to judges on your behalf, and accompany
you to hearings — thus increasing your odds of receiving a favorable decision.

IF MY CLAIM IS SUCCESSFUL, HOW MUCH WILL I RECEIVE?

The amount you receive monthly varies, depending on age, past earnings and type
of benefit. You can learn more about how the process works, or simply click this
link to access SSA’s benefit calculator:
http://ssa.gov/planners/benefitcalculators.htm

WHAT ARE CITIZENS DISABILITY’S FEES?

Our fees are determined by government statute. For the vast majority of cases we
handle, we receive 25% of the accrued benefit amount, up to $6,000. We do not
impose fees up front and we only get paid if your claim is successful. If your
claim is denied, you pay nothing.


WHY CITIZENS DISABILITY?

 * Filing a claim for SSDI benefits isn’t easy, but we can help.

 * We offer each client a free evaluation.
 * Our service is risk-free… we only get paid when you win your case.


OUR PROMISE TO YOU

 * Keep you in compliance and make the process easy for you.
 * Use our knowledge to help you win faster.
 * Provide you with information to keep you informed.
