Spring Hill is an unincorporated city in the St. Petersburg-Clearwater metropolitan area in the Nature Coast region of Florida in Hernando County. The city, which has a population of about 93,000, depends heavily on the education, healthcare, tourism, hospitality and retail industries.
The Social Security Administrations Region 4 Office in Atlanta, GA services the Spring Hill population. The Atlanta regional office sees just over 60,000 new claims each year and handles the distribution of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for nearly 563,000 individuals annually.
SSDI is for individuals who’ve been unable to hold gainful employment for an extended period as a result of permanent or long-term disability. In addition to having a disabling condition, you must also have sufficient work credits built up over the last ten years in order to qualify for SSDI under the Social Security Administration’s guidelines. If you do not meet the requirements for SSDI, you may still qualify for SSI.
Apply for Spring Hill Social Security Disability Benefits
Applying for Spring Hill Social Security Disability benefits is a complex process and can take a number of months to complete. The Social Security Administration (SSA) approves about 27 percent of the initial claims seen in the Atlanta regional office. The remaining claims – those initially denied benefits – must go through a second review, at which point about 9 percent of SSD applicants are found eligible for benefits.
The next step for those denied is to file an appeal, which sends the case before an administrative law judge for final determination regarding eligibility. Having the assistance of a Spring Hill Social Security Disability attorney throughout this process increases your chances of receiving SSD benefits.
The majority of Spring Hill SSD claims that are initially denied are missing the appropriate medical records and other documentation required by the SSA. A Spring Hill disability lawyer can review your case file and ensure you receive the appropriate medical tests and other procedures for sufficiently documenting your disability under SSA guidelines. He or she can improve your chances of receiving benefits during the initial or reconsideration reviews and can also argue your case at the appeal hearing, if you must advance to that stage in the review process.
