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).

IF I CHANGE ATTORNEYS WILL IT DELAY MY DISABILITY CASE?

No.  Getting a new attorney will NOT delay your pending Social Security disability claim or appeal .  Your new attorney "inherits" the case and picks up where the other attorney left off.  There is no re-filing or starting over, so your case is not set back or delayed at all.  Social Security maintains an electronic folder stored in its system.  This folder contains every document ever submitted concerning your claim or appeal.  Your new lawyer may log into your electronic files and see, in real time, all the evidence and other documents in your file. While we do not recommend changing attorneys while your case is pending a decision, it is sometimes necessary.  You may need a new lawyer if your attorney dies, retires or  becomes disabled before your case is settled.  You may choose a new attorney without delaying or causing any set back to your case. If you are considering obtaining a lawyer to handle your Social Security disability case in...

URGENT MESSAGE FROM SOCIAL SECURITY'S TOP OFFICIAL - February 18, 2025

There is a lot of talk and speculation about Social Security in the new Trump Administration.  The acting commissioner of Social Security recently resigned and Lee Dudek has been appointed the new Acting Director. Today (2/18/2025) I received a message from the new Acting Commissioner Dudek.  Here is part of Director Dudek's message on Social Security for 2025:   Our continuing priority is paying beneficiaries the right amount at the right time, and providing other critical services people rely on from us. DOGE personnel CANNOT make changes to agency systems, benefit payments, or other information. They only have READ access. DOGE personnel do not have access to data related to a court ordered temporary restraining order, current or future. DOGE personnel must follow the law and if they violate the law they will be referred to the Department of Justice for possible prosecution.                      ...

SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY APPLICATION PROCESS

  Here is a brief overview of what takes place after you file your Social Security disability application : Application confirmation  – Social Security will mail you a copy of your application to sign. You will have an opportunity to review the application, correct any errors, and send it back to Social Security for processing. You must return the signed application. Social Security will not process your application until they receive your signed confirmation. And they don't send reminders about this. Function report  – Social Security will mail you a form called a function report . This form will ask questions about your personal care, meals, house and yard work, getting around, shopping, money, hobbies and interests, social activities,  and other abilities. This form will help Social Security determine what you can and cannot do on a daily basis. It must be filled out carefully and fully and returned. Work history report  – Social Security will ma...
