What in the HECK is My DLI and Why Does It Matter?
If you are trying to get Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), I want you to know something very important. It is called your “Date Last Insured,” or DLI.
Your DLI is the last day you are covered for SSDI. I like to think of it as a deadline. To get benefits, you must show that your disability started on or before that date. If you became disabled after your DLI, you may not qualify for SSDI, even if you are very sick now.
I know this can be confusing. Many people do not know their DLI or why it matters. They may file a claim too late or not have the right proof. This can cause them to lose benefits they could have received.
That is why I believe having a lawyer can really help. I understand the rules and deadlines. I can find your DLI and make sure your case focuses on the right time period. I also help gather medical records and talk to doctors to show when your disability began.
I can also speak for you if your case goes to a hearing. I know how to explain things clearly to the judge.
SSDI cases can be hard, but you do not have to do it alone. Getting help early can make a big difference. It can help you avoid mistakes and give you a better chance to win the benefits you need.
Remember, you can consult with me for FREE about your Social Security Disability case, and there is no charge unless I help you win benefits. There is no downside to calling me, Melissa Green, today at (302) 304-3300, or email info@mavlaws.com.
