Disability benefits counseling is for anyone who wants to maximize their disability income and increase their probability of success.

Counseling can help you identify and apply for the right disability benefits. There are four major types of disability benefits that California workers should consider:

California State Disability (CA SDI)

Employer-sponsored Short-Term Disability Insurance (STDI)

Employer-sponsored Long-Term disability insurance (LTDI)

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)

If you want to return to your current job after a medical leave, counseling can show you how to protect your job and health insurance during your leave, and what benefits to apply for in case you don’t return to your job.

What To Expect On Your First Counseling Session

During your first session, we will discuss:

Which disability benefits may apply to you, given your medical and work history

What potential issues I see in your disability claims

How and when to apply for CA State Disability in your situation

Any questions you may have

Advantages of Getting Counseling

Disability benefits counseling can save you from making common but grave mistakes on your disability claims. It can show you how to get your doctors on your side and validate your disability claims. With proper counseling, you should feel empowered and comforted, knowing you have a disability benefits expert on your side.
