Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Attorney in Fayetteville, NC – Helping Low-Income & Disabled Claimants

If you are disabled and struggling to make ends meet, you may qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). At the Law Office of Allen David Smith, we help individuals in Fayetteville, NC, and surrounding areas apply for and secure SSI benefits. SSI is different from Social Security Disability (SSD) because it is based on financial need, not just work history.

What Is SSI?

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a federal program that provides monthly payments to individuals who:

  • Have Limited Income and Resources
  • Are Disabled, Blind, or Age 65 or Older
  • Do Not Have Enough Work Credits to Qualify for SSD Benefits

SSI is designed to provide a safety net for the most vulnerable — those who cannot work due to disability AND who lack sufficient income or assets to survive. There are income and asset limitations for being eligible for SSI claims, including any income from other sources and/or spouses.


We handle quite a number of cases for young adults with genetic disabling conditions such as autism, mental health related issues, and learning disabled related conditions that affect their ability to work and have never had the ability to earn work credits to qualify for SSDI. If you are 18 years old or over, you could be eligible for SSI benefits regardless of the income of your parents.

The SSI Application & Appeals Process

Applying for SSI benefits can be complicated — and most applicants are denied the first time. Allen David Smith guides clients through every stage of the process:

  1. Initial Application – Gathering and filing the proper documentation.
  2. Reconsideration – If denied, we file an appeal for a new review.
  3. Hearing Before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) – Present your case with full medical and financial evidence.

If your SSI application has been denied, you only have 60 days to appeal. Don’t wait — act quickly to protect your benefits.
