Navigating the Los Angeles Disability Application Process
While you can just submit your application and trust a disability claims examiner to locate, obtain, and analyze all the necessary proof that you qualify, this requires you to leave a lot up to chance when you need this compensation as soon as possible. Instead, we recommend completing the required forms, obtaining your own medical records and supporting documents, and taking other steps to prove your case.
We understand this is a lot of work, and identifying the necessary documentation is often complicated. In addition, issues with your application or other submitted documents could cause an unwanted delay or even put your claim at risk for denial.
Working with a Social Security disability attorney from our team may be able to help you:
- Determine which program best fits your needs.
- Understand the qualifications for that program.
- Identify the necessary supporting documents for that program.
- Navigate the application process.
- Minimize the chances of receiving a denial.

Understanding Your Options for Social Security Disability Benefits
There are two primary programs that fall under Social Security disability:
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
These programs have different criteria you must meet to qualify and receive approval for benefits. At Pintas & Mullins Law Firm, we can help you understand each program and determine which one best meets your needs. We can look at your circumstances and explain if you likely qualify for that program and the evidence we will need to procure to prove that.
In general, SSDI is a program for workers who have a medical condition that prevents them from working for an extended period, including permanent injuries, long-term illnesses, and terminal conditions.
SSI, on the other hand, helps those who struggle to make ends meet and have few assets. If you cannot work and struggle to pay for housing, clothing, food, and other necessities, SSI may help.

Meeting the Qualifications and Proving Your Case to SSA
When you apply for Social Security disability, including either SSDI or SSI, you will need to show you are either a senior, blind, or have a medical condition that qualifies you for benefits. This is possible by showing you meet the qualifications for your diagnosis as listed in the Blue Book of Impairment Listings on the Social Security Administration website or by qualifying based on your residual functional capacity under Code of Federal Regulations § 416.945.
Proving you meet the health-related qualifications is sometimes the most difficult part of the application process. We can help you understand what the disability examiner will look for in your case and may be able to obtain the records and proof of your medical condition on your behalf.
Each program also has its own technical and economic criteria you will need to meet before you can receive approval and begin your monthly benefits. For example, there are strict income and asset limits you will need to show before you can receive approval for SSI.
