A man and woman find out if social security disability income is taxed

How Hanley Disability Helps You File for Disability Benefits in Indiana

You need to complete the Social Security Disability application. A lot is riding on it. You need monthly benefits to ease your financial trouble since you got sick or hurt and had to stop working.

Can you find someone to help you apply for Social Security Disability?

And not just someone to give you advice or tell you what to do.

Someone who really walks you through it. Someone who helps you gather the right information, checks that your disability application forms are filled out right, and makes sure everything gets submitted with Social Security properly.

This is the job of your disability advocate or disability lawyer. But not all disability attorneys will help you with your initial application for benefits. They’ll tell you to apply on your own and call them back if you’re denied (which is what happens most of the time.)

That’s not how we operate at Hanley Disability. We help beginning to end. We help you build a strong application from step one. So you feel more confident dealing with a confusing process, and you get the best possible chance of winning benefits you need.

Our trained and skilled Indiana disability advocates have helped thousands of people in Indianapolis, Danville, Franklin, Lebanon, Noblesville and across the state.

Feel free to reach out when you’re just starting your application, because Social Security Disability Is All We Do.

How We Help You Start Your Disability Application

Social Security only awards disability benefits to people who it thinks cannot work because of health problems—and who have the evidence to prove it.

Proving you qualify for disability benefits gets much more complicated than you’d think.

You need to remember fine details of your past job duties—even small tasks that didn’t seem important—so you can show how your medical conditions got in the way.

You need to think about every symptom you experience—even ones that aren’t the most obvious—and how they limit your daily activities.

An experienced disability advocate can ask you questions you wouldn’t think of, because they know what Social Security is looking for.

When you’re applying for benefits, this is what your Social Security Disability advocate does:

  • Helps you gather your most relevant work history
  • Helps you gather your medical information, working with your doctors
  • Helps you demonstrate the way your symptoms interfere with your work
  • Helps you confirm that you you’ve paid enough into the system, or qualify financially
  • Keeps information that you don’t need out of your application
  • Makes sure you’re on top of deadlines from Social Security

You can begin your application for Social Security Disability benefits by taking to our team of disability advocates for free, and seeing how we can help you.

And if you work with us on your disability application, you’ll pay no fee for your advocate until you win benefits.

How Your Disability Advocate Makes Applying for Benefits Easier

While SSDI is for individuals who have worked in the past and paid into the Social Security system, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is for folks who’ve never been able to work much, or for a long time, because of their health.

SSI provides monthly checks and access to Medicaid to manage your health care.

Because you can only qualify for SSI if your income is below a certain level, none of those earnings are taxable, according to the IRS.

If you start to earn any income great enough to require paying taxes, it will likely disqualify you from SSI altogether.

On top of the daily challenge of living with a debilitating health condition, all the rules are complicated to navigate. It can be overwhelming.

For the disability advocates Hanley Disability, you’re more than just numbers in a calculation. We see the whole person in you and approach your case with the compassion you deserve.
