Understanding how work history affects SSDI eligibility can make a big difference for individuals navigating the disability process. Work history is closely tied to Social Security Disability because SSDI benefits are based on the work credits a person has earned over time.

Our team at RGV Disability, PLLC often explains that the amount of recent work, the length of a work record, and the type of work performed can all play a role in whether someone qualifies. However, every situation is unique, and the Social Security Administration evaluates each case individually.

If you're unsure how your work history may impact your claim, we encourage you to reach out and learn more about your options. Understanding your rights is the first step toward securing the disability support you may need.

Our office will be closed on Friday, July 3rd, in observance of the July 4th holiday. We’ll be back and ready to help on Monday. Wishing you a safe and happy Fourth!

America turns 250 this year, which means 250 candles on the cake … so someone should probably alert the fire department.

However you’re celebrating the Fourth of July, we hope it’s filled with great food, good company, and a sky full of fireworks.

Understanding your residual functional capacity (RFC) is an important part of the Social Security Disability process. RFC describes what you can still do physically and mentally despite your medical conditions. It is one of the key factors Social Security uses when evaluating SSI, SSDI, and ERISA disability claims.

Our team at RGV Disability, PLLC often sees how everyday challenges—like difficulty standing, lifting, concentrating, or completing routine tasks—play a major role in determining whether someone can perform past work or adjust to new work. These day‑to‑day limitations matter just as much as your medical diagnoses.

If you are unsure how your RFC might affect your disability claim, we encourage you to reach out to a disability lawyer for guidance. Understanding your limitations clearly can make a meaningful difference in how your case is evaluated.

In observance of Juneteenth, our office will be closed on June 19. Our team will resume regular hours on Monday, June 22.

Juneteenth is a powerful reminder of June 19, 1865, when news of emancipation finally reached enslaved people in Galveston, Texas—marking a long-delayed but historic step toward freedom. It remains a day to honor Black history, culture, and resilience.

We invite our community to take time to reflect, learn, and commemorate this important moment in our nation’s history.

Consistent medical treatment plays a crucial role in disability claims. When you stay engaged in treatment, it helps document your symptoms, limitations, and how your condition affects daily life. This record can strengthen your Social Security Disability, SSI, SSDI, or ERISA claim and provide clarity during the evaluation process.

Our team at RGV Disability, PLLC is here to help guide you through each step. If you have questions about your claim or what documentation matters most, we encourage you to reach out.
