Before you visit
To prepare for your appointment at Clovis, bring a valid government-issued photo ID and a detailed 15-year work history. You should also provide a comprehensive list of your treating physicians with their contact information and recent medical records. Include any documentation related to previous claim denials and a current list of all your medications.
Avoid common pitfalls such as submitting an incomplete work history or failing to provide recent medical records from all your treating providers. Many people also neglect to mention mental health conditions, which are essential for a complete disability profile. Always read every form thoroughly before signing to ensure the information is accurate. An attorney can help you avoid these errors and ensure your application is complete.
Working while you apply? Check how much you can earn on SSDI this year — SSA's earnings limit is the first thing it looks at.
Was your claim denied? Decode the letter — what the sentence means, what to file, and by when.
Should you bring an attorney?
Many applicants find the SSDI process overwhelming and often regret applying without professional guidance after receiving an initial denial. An attorney can help you build a strong evidentiary record from the very beginning, which is critical for any potential appeals. You can request a free case review to understand how your specific medical situation aligns with SSA requirements.

If your SSDI claim moves to a hearing
About two-thirds of initial SSDI applications nationwide are denied. If yours is, your case moves to a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge at one of the regional hearing offices that handles appeals from Clovis. The Clovis field office holds your file at every appeal stage, but the substantive decisions happen further up the chain.
