Get Help With Every Step of Your SSDI or VA Disability Claim

Not necessarily. Many applicants can file their Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or VA disability benefits claims using our step-by-step guides and free forms. However, if your case involves complex medical evidence or prior denials, we can connect you with a trusted Social Security representative or VA-accredited advocate. Their experience helps ensure your disability claim is complete, accurate, and more likely to be approved without unnecessary delays.

The time it takes to receive SSDI benefits varies based on several other factors, including medical review, documentation, and the Social Security Administration’s workload. Most disability claims take several months to receive an initial decision, and appeals may further extend this timeline. Submitting complete forms, accurate work history, and medical records during the application process helps reduce delays and increases the likelihood of early approval for your Social Security disability claim.

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) pays benefits to individuals who have sufficient work history and a qualifying medical disability. In contrast, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI benefits) assist people with limited income and other resources, regardless of prior employment. The Social Security Administration manages both programs, but serves different financial and eligibility needs. Some individuals may qualify for both SSDI benefits and SSI benefits under specific eligibility criteria.

Yes, eligible veterans can receive both VA disability benefits and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Social Security Administration (SSA) operate independently, meaning approval for one program doesn’t affect the other. A veteran’s disability rating, work history, and medical documentation determine eligibility. Many veterans rely on both programs for disability compensation, financial assistance, and monthly payments to help cover living expenses and healthcare needs.

If your disability claim is denied, don’t get discouraged — most applicants face this during their initial claim. You have the right to appeal through the Social Security Administration or the VA department, depending on the program. Our Disability Benefits Center team helps review your file, identify missing evidence, and strengthen your case. We guide you through every stage of the appeal process, increasing your chances of being approved and receiving the benefits you are entitled to.
