Frequently Asked Questions
Can a reach out to Turner Disability Services to help me apply for SSDI in Columbia?
Yes! We help Columbia clients apply for both SSDI and SSI, and we walk with you through each step of the process—from start to finish.
What’s the difference between SSDI and SSI?
SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) is for people who have a qualifying work history and have paid into Social Security. SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is for individuals with low income or minimal work history and offers a potential safety net for those unable to work.
I’ve only been out of work a few months. Can I still qualify for disability?
To qualify for SSDI or SSI, your condition must last—or be expected to last—at least 12 months or have a terminal prognosis. Temporary injuries typically don’t meet the criteria.
Why is applying for disability benefits so frustrating?
The application process is complex, and the number of applicants means wait times are often long. Many people feel ignored or discouraged while waiting for answers. We help you stay informed and prepared throughout the process.
What if my claim was denied in Columbia?
It’s common for initial claims to be denied. At Turner Disability Services, we prepare from day one as if we will have to present a client’s case before an Administrative Law Judge. We’re experienced in appeals and can represent you at your hearing to improve your chances of approval. Having representation from the outset allows for a stronger initial claim and allows for a greater chance of success should there be a hearing. ​
Can you help me choose a Medicare plan in Columbia, SC?
Yes! Charles Turner is a licensed Medicare agent in the state of SC and can walk you through your plan options to find the one that fits your needs and budget.
