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).

Objective Medical Evidence means the result of medical examinations, laboratory tests or imaging studies (X-rays, PT scans, MRI or CT scans). This type of evidence can only be obtained by going to your doctor. There's an old adage that says truthfully:  "The path to Social Security disability benefits runs straight through your doctor's office."  Being approved for an SSDI benefit requires objective medical proof. ...

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. The step-by-step process breaks down as follows: The Judge’s Ruling & Instructions:  Following your hearing, the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) r...

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). STEP 2.  The Medical Requirem...
