How Do I Know if I Have a Social Security Disability Case in Wilmington?

It’s not uncommon for people to be unaware of the existence of, or their eligibility for, Social Security Disability benefits. In fact, the SSA has several eligibility requirements. Applying for Social Security Disability in North Carolina can be rather confusing.

For example, the SSA will determine your eligibility based on a number of factors, including:

• Age
• Education
• Work history
• Abilities and skills
• Physical and/or mental limitations

How Much Might My Social Security Disability Case Be Worth in Wilmington?

Clients often ask how much their Social Security Disability benefits could be. The answer depends on a number of factors – we say every case is unique for a reason. You circumstances, resources, and your disability all factor into the compensation you may receive.

The Social Security Administration calculates benefits with a weighted formula, a part of which involves the amount of income the applicant has paid Social Security taxes on. In 2021, the average monthly Social Security Disability benefit was $1,277.

My Social Security Disability Case Was Denied. How Do I Appeal?

Appealing a Social Security Disability denial comes in four stages. You could be approved at any of these stages, or not at all:

• Reconsideration
• Hearing
• Appeals Council
• Federal Court

There are rules governing each stage, and none of them are what we’d call user-friendly. Wilmington’s SSD cases are heard by judges in the Charleston, SC hearing office, or in Fayetteville, NC. Less than 40% of cases are approved by Charleston judges, and less than half of cases are approved by Fayetteville hearing judges, but don’t give up! Call us, because denials are sometimes a result of a poorly assembled application or appeal.

An experienced Wilmington SSD lawyer may increase your odds of success, especially early in your application process.
