Social Security Disability Claims
Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits are designed for individuals who can no longer work due to a medical condition or injury that has lasted—or is expected to last—at least one year. These benefits provide financial support in addition to any Workers’ Compensation you may be entitled to.
Our attorneys help clients navigate the complex SSD system to secure approvals. While initial applications are often denied, we work diligently to appeal and obtain the benefits our clients deserve.

Eligibility for SSD Benefits
The Social Security Administration (SSA) grants SSD benefits when:
- A person’s medical condition prevents them from returning to their previous job.
- They are unable to adjust to other work due to their disability.
- The disability has lasted, or is expected to last, at least one year or result in death.
If you meet these criteria, you may qualify for SSD benefits. You can apply online or contact the SSA directly. If you need
guidance throughout the process, our team is here to assist.
Let Us Help You Get Approved
At Savino & Smollar, we are committed to helping clients secure the SSD benefits they are entitled to. Our multilingual team
offers assistance in English, Polish, Russian, and Spanish to better serve New York City’s diverse population.
SSD benefits are funded through payroll and self-employment taxes, ensuring financial protection when you need it most.
Unfortunately, most applicants are denied on their first attempt. If you have received a denial letter, don’t accept it as the final
decision—call us at 917-882-6213 for help appealing your case.
Your Right to Multiple Benefits
Workers’ Compensation and SSD benefits are separate programs, and receiving one does not impact your eligibility for the
other. You may also qualify for long-term disability insurance, disability pensions, and other benefits.
With a combined 100 years of experience in personal and occupational injury cases, our attorneys are ready to fight for you.
Start your claim as soon as possible, as the process can take time.
