Why Was My Claim Denied?
There are a number of reasons why you could have had a denied claim. In South Carolina, it's common for applications to be rejected for reasons relating to current earnings, the extent of impairment, failing to meet listing criteria, work history and your potential to perform work. In fact, 71% of first-time claims get rejected when applicants file themselves.

How can I qualify for South Carolina Social Security Disability benefits?
To be approved for SSDI or SSI benefits, you must qualify at each step of a five step process. Each step has specific requirements, and concrete evidence must be submitted to show that those requirements have been met. It is critical that your case be presented properly so that you may collect the benefits to which you are entitled.
How can an advocate help my claim?
It is widely known that Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits can be extremely difficult to obtain in South Carolina. Many feel that the SSDI system is designed to be so complicated and time-consuming that the average person will simply give up. Some feel that the South Carolina Social Security Disability System expects you to give up on fighting for the benefits you deserve!

Our fee is set (and limited) by Congress and must be approved in each case by the Social Security Administration. You can rest assured that you're not paying a dime more than you're supposed to when you choose Coastal Disability.
Should I get one of the big national firms to represent me?
The big national firms use advertising dollars to pull in potential clients, then they scramble to find someone in your area to take your case. Coastal Disability is the only firm in the Carolinas dedicated solely to Disability Advocacy.
