Have you been struggling with a long-term illness or disability? If so, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. While these benefits can provide much-needed financial relief, it’s important to understand the limitations on backpay.

 

Understanding Backpay Limits

The Social Security Administration (SSA) imposes strict limits on the amount of backpay you can receive if your claim is approved. This can be particularly frustrating for individuals who have been suffering from a disability for an extended period.

 

Why is this a problem?

• Lost wages: You may have missed out on significant income due to your disability.
• Medical expenses: You may have incurred substantial medical costs.
• Financial hardship: The limited backpay may not be enough to cover your past expenses and future needs.

 

How a Disability Lawyer Can Help

A skilled disability lawyer can help you navigate the complex process of applying for Social Security benefits and maximize your backpay. Here’s how:

• Expert Legal Representation: A lawyer can represent your interests and advocate for your rights throughout the claims process.
• Strategic Claim Filing: By strategically filing your claim, your lawyer can help you obtain the maximum amount of backpay.
• Reopening Denied Claims: If you have previously been denied benefits, a lawyer can evaluate your case and determine if it’s possible to reopen your claim.
