There are several ways a person can apply for SSDI from the comfort of their own home. They can do it individually online by going to ssa.gov, or they can contact our respected SSDI attorneys, and we can electronically file it for them. It generally takes about an hour to fill out an online application, on average, depending on how prepared you are with your treatment provider contact information.
Applying over the phone is also an option, as well as mailing it in. No matter which option you choose, we are ready to assist you with filing for SSDI at home in Charleston.
There is a lot of information that SSDI applicants must provide, including:
We encourage people to spend some time before they begin their application to gather that information, because it is will make it much easier when they actually begin to fill it out. Otherwise, it will involve a lot of starting and stopping because they will not know these dates off-hand. This can cause frustration and potentially push them away from applying at all.
An advantage of online application is you do not have to wait weeks for an open in-person timeslot with the SSA. The Jan Dils team in Charleston, WV can get you in for an online application appointment within a day or two. However, because there is not an SSA employee there to assist, that makes it even more important to have a lawyer available.
You can apply for SSDI in Charleston over the phone by contacting the Social Security Office to set up a future phone appointment, or you can contact us and we can fill out your online application with you on the phone.

This is helpful for people who do not have a reliable mode of transportation. For any paperwork that needs to be signed, we can mail it to you and you can send it back with the proper signatures.
When you call our office to file your application, you will speak with an intake specialist, someone who is trained specifically on how to complete the online applications. They will provide proper guidance to get through the application in a reasonable amount of time and hopefully make it as easy for you as possible.
In our many years of experience, paper applications are much more difficult than online or telephone applications. We typically discourage mail applications since the form is very lengthy and it is often more confusing than the online version. It is not unheard of for an applicant to give up if they tried doing it on a physical copy. However, this method is available for individuals who prefer it instead of online or phone applications.
