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.

SOCIAL SECRITY DISABILITY: THE DECISION WRITING PROCESS

  By Charles W. Forsythe - The Forsythe Firm in Huntsville An Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) has made a decision on your Social Security disability appeal hearing. The decision must now be sent to to a process called "Decision Writing" - where an attorney or paralegal will draft the formal binding decision, explaining the judge's legal rationale for the decision and explaining the mandatory 5-Step decision making process. The decision writing process translates a judge's ruling into a formal, legally binding document. It is a vital but time-consuming phase that ensures all medical evidence and vocational factors align with the law. A typical written decision will be 10 to 20 pages, thus very detailed.  It takes time to write one. There are many decisions ahead of yours and usually they are written in the order received.

UNDERSTANDING THE 5-STEP SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY PROCESS

Receiving Social Security disability payments depend on one thing:  Proving that you are not able to work. The one and only thing that SSDI pays for is the physical and/or mental inability to work for a period of at least 12 months.  Who decides if you are able to work?  The Social Security Administration (SSA) will decide.--according to their own strict rules and regulations. In reaching that important decision, are you disabled or not, Social Security must use a 5-step examination process.  It's important to understand these 5 sequential steps. STEP 1:  The work Test .  Is the claimant now engaged in Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA)?  If yes, the claim is denied at Step 1.  They look no further.  You cannot be eligible for SSDI benefits if you are working at SGA, regardles of your medical condition.  (In 2026 you are working at SGA if you earn at least $1,690 per month from work or self-employment).
