How Our New Jersey SSDI Lawyers Help You

Guidance Through Applications, Denials, and Appeals

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) provides monthly benefits to disabled workers who have paid into the Social Security system through prior employment. You must show that your condition prevents you from performing substantial gainful activity and is expected to last at least 12 months or result in death.

Schibell Law helps New Jersey workers prepare strong SSDI applications, challenge denials, and pursue appeals when necessary. Our team builds every case with the documentation and testimony needed to meet federal standards.

How Schibell Law Handles SSDI Claims

Building Stronger Arguments for a Second Chance at Justice.

When you contact us, we begin a structured process designed to move your SSDI claim forward:

Eligibility Review

We determine whether you have sufficient work credits and whether your medical condition meets SSA’s disability criteria.

Application Preparation

We complete and submit all forms, organize medical records, and create a detailed functional limitations summary.

Evidence Development

We gather physician statements, diagnostic tests, and treatment records needed to support your claim.

Communication With SSA

We track deadlines, submit supplemental evidence, and respond to SSA requests so your file stays complete.

Hearing Preparation & Representation

If your claim requires a hearing, we prepare your testimony and represent you before an Administrative Law Judge.

Appeals at Every Level

We handle reconsiderations, hearings, Appeals Council reviews, and federal court appeals when necessary.

We follow a precise, evidence-focused process to help clients reverse disability denials:

SSDI Eligibility Basics

Understanding the Requirements for SSDI edibility

You may qualify for SSDI if:

You must have earned enough work credits through Social Security–covered employment.

Your condition must prevent you from performing substantial gainful activity for at least 12 months.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) maintains a list of qualifying impairments, though other conditions may qualify with sufficient medical proof.

Even if you are unsure whether you qualify, we can evaluate your eligibility during a free consultation.

Benefits Available Through SSDI

Understanding the Support You Can Receive Through SSDI

Monthly Disability Payments

Financial support for you and, in some cases, your dependents.

Medicare Coverage

Typically available after 24 months of SSDI eligibility.

Retroactive Benefits

Payments dating back to when your disability began.

Our team ensures all applicable benefits are identified and pursued. If your medical condition is making it impossible to work, getting help early can strengthen your SSDI claim.

Deadlines and Key SSA Rules

12-Month Duration Rule

Your disability must last — or be expected to last — at least 12 months.

Five-Month Waiting Period

Benefits begin after SSA’s mandatory waiting period.

Work Credits Requirement

Eligibility depends on age, work history, and how recently you worked.

Strict Appeal Deadlines

You typically have 60 days to appeal an SSDI denial. Missing a deadline may require restarting the process.

Understanding and following SSA rules is essential — we help ensure your claim stays on track.
