Are you a nurse or care giver who:
- Is unable to work due to your disability (your disability does NOT NEED to be a workplace injury)
- Expect to be unable to work for 12 continuous months
- Cannot perform your work, or other similar work, due to your disability?
- Has been denied Social Security Disability benefits despite meeting the eligibility criteria?
- Needs guidance to navigate the SSDI application or appeals process?

Frequently Asked Questions
No, your disability does not need to be work-related. SSDI benefits are available if your condition prevents you from performing your job or similar work and is expected to last at least 12 months or result in death.
SSDI covers both physical and mental health conditions that prevent you from working. Common conditions for nurses and caregivers include chronic back or joint pain, repetitive stress injuries, stress-related disorders, or illnesses that compromise physical stamina.
You must expect to be unable to work for at least 12 consecutive months due to your disability to qualify. If you are unsure, LaPorte Law Firm can evaluate your case.
It is common for first-time applications to be denied. Our team specializes in handling appeals, ensuring that your claim is presented with the strongest possible evidence to secure approval.
To qualify for SSDI, you must demonstrate that your earnings fall below the “substantial gainful activity” (SGA) threshold. If you’re unsure whether your part-time or limited work affects your eligibility, we can provide clarity.
The process can vary, but initial applications often take 3-6 months for a decision. Appeals can take longer. Having an experienced attorney can help speed up the process by avoiding common mistakes and ensuring proper documentation.
You’ll need medical records, documentation of your work duties, and any other proof that your condition prevents you from performing your job. LaPorte Law Firm will help you collect and organize the necessary materials.
