Attorney services who deal in SSD cases make sure that you qualify by checking your work history before turning the medical portion of your SSDI benefits claim over to the Disability Determination Service for your state. The DDS office then examines your medical reports, diagnostic test results and the current status of your medical condition before determining if you are eligible for SSDI benefits.
Once the determination service makes a decision, the file goes back to Social Security Office for further processing. It is then up to the Social Security Office to approve your application or not. If you do get approval, you will start to receive benefits for the first five months of disability. If not, you will need to wait your turn to make a claim.
