YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GET CASH DISABILITY BENEFITS NOW

 The US Social Security Administration makes cash payments to covered individuals who have long term disabilities that make them unable to continue working.

You may qualify if

  • Your condition will keep you from working for 12 straight months or more
  • You are not currently working
  • You have worked at a qualifying job during the past 5 years
  • You have medical evidence to support being disabled

The Forsythe Firm in Huntsville has helped thousands of disabled individuals collect Social Security disability payments.  We are specialized in Social Security and that's all we do.

Why would you need a lawyer or advocate to help you?

1.  The majority of new applications are denied.  Up to 8 out of 10 are denied.  (Your chances are better with legal representation)!

2.  Social Security's process is complex and unusually difficult.

3.  Your claim will probably require an appeal and/or a hearing to be approved.

4.  You will need help gathering medical evidence to get paid.

5.  You never want to go before a judge unrepresented.

How Does a Social Security Attorney Get Paid?

Social Security requires that you be approved for benefits and receive past due payments before you pay a legal fee.  If you do not collect past due benefits, an attorney may not charge you a fee. So, there is no upfront fee and you never have to pay until you win and recover a past due benefit (in cash).

At the Forsythe Firm consultations are always free and without pressure or obligation.  Just call us at (256) 799-0297 or (256) 503-8151.

CAN YOU WIN YOUR DISABILITY APPEAL WITHOUT A LAWYER?

The Social Security Administration does not require you to have a lawyer to file an appeal or to appear at a hearing.  However, most people heading for a disability hearing will hire a lawyer or advocate to help them.   Studies have shown that you are about twice as likely to win with a lawyer.  A recent study found that claimants with no lawyer win about 30 percent of the time while claimants with a lawyer or advocate win 60 percent of the time.   " He just cooked his own goose." These statistics cover only one aspect of a disability appear--your odds of winning. The other important aspects are time and convenience. If you prepare and adjudicate your own disability appeal, expect to spend 12 to 24 months working on the case.  You will be collecting, reading and submitting hundreds or thousands of pages of medical records.  These records are complex and often difficult to understand.  And you must know how each medical record helps (or hurts) your dis...

GET YOUR APPLICATION RIGHT - GET PAID SSDI B ENEFITS

  Get your Social Security application right - get paid.   There are hundreds of ways to mess up a Social Security disability application.  One of the most common ways that I see?  Blank lines.  Questions left blank.  One way or another, these questions will get answered before a decision is made on your claim.  They may get answered 6 months later when the Social Security office calls you--but you have just wasted 6 months.   Worse yet, Social Security may assume that since you didn't answer the questions, all the answers are "no," so nobody bothers to call you. This will lead to a negative action on your claim.   The complete disability application will consist, not just of the basic application, but several forms.  Many of those forms will be mailed to you AFTER you file the claim.  The following is always required for a complete application: The basic disability application (5 pages)  Disability Report (14 p...

HOW TO PASS A SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY EXAM

  So, Social Security is sending you to one of their doctors for an exam.  The first thing you may ask is, How do I pass this exam?   First, I should say that Social Security exams are not "pass or fail."  The doctor or examiner cannot tell Social Security whether or not you are disabled or whether you should get a benefit.  The doctor is going to check certain facts. For example, the doctor may check the range of motion in your joints and list the measurements. They may check your grip strength. (S)he may determine if you have difficulty walking, squatting, kneeling standing from a seated position.  The examiner may answer specific questions asked by Social Security: Is the use of a cane or assistive device medically necessary? Why is it necessary? Can the claimant use his/her hands to grasp and hold objects? Is the claimant able to understand and follow simple directions?  Here is advice I give my clients for a Social Security examination:  ...
