Social Security Disability in Hilton Head & Beaufort, South Carolina

If you have been injured and the severity of your condition is preventing you from working for an extended period, you may qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA).

 

Applying for these SSDI benefits can be a tedious process. Yet its crucial to earn income to live when working is no longer an option. SSDI pays benefits to you and certain members of your family if you are “insured,” meaning that you worked long enough and paid Social Security taxes, the SSA outlines.

 

To qualify for these benefits, the SSA verifies your work credits earned in the past ten years with an employer covered by Social Security to participate in the SSD program. The SSA reviews your income history, skill level, and education before submitting your case file to the South Carolina Vocational Rehabilitation Department’s Disability Determination Services for a complete medical review. Once this happens, a panel of disability experts will then obtain information from your doctor to determine the severity of your injury. If enough data is provided to support your social security disability claim, the panel will advise the SSA accordingly.

 

You can apply for Hilton Head and Beaufort, South Carolina social security disability benefits either online or at your local South Carolina Social Security field office. Hilton Head residents can go to the Beaufort main office which is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm., and Wednesdays 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.

South Carolina Appeal Hearings

In the case that you get denied benefits at the Request for Reconsideration level of the appeals process, you may file a request for an appeals hearing in front of an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). There are currently 35 ALJs within South Carolina who attend hearings throughout the 3 hearing offices in the state. Residents of South Carolina have a slightly higher chance of approval than the national average.

 

Disability Payments

Currently, the wait period is about 6 months to start collecting your disability payments. Lucky for you, the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) continues to increase. You must tell the SAA if your ability to work improves if your medical condition gets better or if you in fact return to work.
