Frequently Asked Questions

What does a social security disability lawyer in Portland do?
A social security disability lawyer helps you prepare and submit your application for SSDI or SSI benefits. They gather medical evidence, represent you at hearings, and handle appeals if your claim is denied. In Connecticut, the lawyer will be familiar with the local hearing office in Hartford and its judges.
How long do I have to appeal a denial in Connecticut?
In Connecticut, you generally have 60 days from the date you receive a denial notice to file an appeal. This deadline is strict, so it is important to contact a lawyer quickly after a denial to avoid losing your right to appeal.
Can I work part time and still get disability benefits in Connecticut?
Yes, but only if your earnings do not exceed the substantial gainful activity (SGA) limit set by the Social Security Administration. For 2024, the SGA limit is 1,550 dollars per month for non-blind individuals. A Portland lawyer can help you understand how part-time work affects your benefits.
