YOU NEED DISABILITY BENEFITS QUICKLY

 Social Security disability (SSDI) is a vital financial lifeline for those who have become unable to work because of a disability.

And claimants trying to get SSDI benefits have urgent needs. Consider:

  • Average family incomes for individuals on SSDI are about half of what families make without someone getting disability benefits.
  • Most people who get SSDI earn significantly less than they were making when they could work, often less than one-half as much.
  • It can take months to get SSDI benefits started and there is no temporary benefit while the application is in progress.
That's why it is terribly important that someone knows what they are doing when applying for disability benefits.  The benefits are urgently needed and there isn't time for trial and error during the process.

I have known of families losing their homes, cars, even their furniture after one of the bread winners in the family became disabled.  And due to Social Security logjams and inefficiency 30,000 applicants died in 2023 before receiving a decision on their applications.

If you are disabled and really need Social Security disability benefits, I urge you to call someone who is experienced and knowledgeable about how to get benefits as soon as possible. The process can be overwhelming. I hear it described as "a convoluted mess," and "heartbreaking."

I am available to begin the process for you immediately and to advocate for you forcefully during the effort for approval.  I offer personal consultations with no cost or obligation.  My promise is to find the best path to getting your benefits.  And I will never charge you a fee unless you are approved for Social Security benefits and receive past due benefits (cash).

WHAT YOU WILL BE ASKED AT A DISABILITY HEARING

Most Social Security disability claims will be denied twice:  First at the end of the Application process, and again after the "Reconsideration" process.  The third stop will be a hearing before a federal Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). It is here at the hearing level that most SSDI claims are paid.  So, what do you need to know about your Social Security disability hearing?     First, the judge will follow the rules established by the Social Security Administration.  His or her job is to determine whether you meet the particular laws and rules to receive disability payments.  So, it is a legal proceeding where you must prove certain things in order to get paid. Among the things you must prove:  Your insured status with Social Security:  You have worked recently enough and paid into the Social Security trust fund to gain the required "work credits" to support your claim.  You have a severe medical or mental impairment supported by adequa...

WHAT TYPE OF DENIALS DOES SOCIAL SECURITY ISSUE?

In Social Security disability, the most common denials are medical denials.  This means that Social Security doesn't believe the medical evidence in your case meets the exacting standards for an award of disability.  There are technically two kinds of medical denials: 1.  You are able to perform some of your past relevant work.  They have looked at your work history for the past 15 years and judged that your medical conditions permit you to perform one or more of your past jobs.  This is what we call a "Step 4 denial." 2.  You are not able to perform any of your past work - but there is other work in the national economy that you are able to do.  This is called a "Step 5 denial" because it occurs at the 5th and final "step" in the decision making process. There are other types of denials, not nearly as common as the two above.  We sometimes think of these as "automatic" denials or "technical denials."  They are not medical decisions...
