Social Security Disability Determination Services

Social Security Disability Determination Services (DDS) is a government agency that evaluates applications for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). When someone applies for disability benefits, DDS reviews their medical records, work history, and other relevant information to determine if their disability meets federal standards. This process ensures that only individuals who are genuinely unable to work due to severe medical conditions receive benefits. The goal of DDS is to provide fair and accurate assessments to help support individuals facing significant health challenges.
