The SSDI claims process is very involved and you need an experienced advocate on your side. Don’t give up, contact Louisiana Disability Advocates for experienced representation.  We have been handling social security disability claims for many years within the Louisiana area.

​

The Social Security Administration (SSA) is a complex framework of departments and decision makers who may seem intent on denying people benefits they are entitled to. The truth is that SSA has a very specific list of qualifying disabilities and disorders.

​

We receive many calls from people wondering whether their disability or disorder will qualify for benefits. It is often difficult to determine exactly what the SSA will decide about your initial claim, but this is a small list of the impairments or disabilities currently recognized for benefits. Contact LOUISIANA DISABILITY ADVOCATES to schedule an opportunity to speak with a Representative about your claim.

​

Social Security Disability benefits, both SSDI and SSI, are designed to assist people who are or have become significantly impaired to the extent that they cannot earn a living.
