WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY

 I look at comments disabled claimants write about their experience trying to get Social Security disability benefits. Here are a few of their comments:

"Overwhelming."

"Mentally and emotionally more than I could bear."

"Heartbreaking."

A retired US Marine officer wrote:  "By far the most convoluted system I've ever seen."

Too often the nightmare of dealing with Social Security comes during a time of trials and hardship.  On top of being disabled and in financial crisis (and probably in pain) claimants must deal with a system that is demanding, unresponsive and frightening.

I like to think that my firm throws a lifeline to many of these individuals when they need it most.  When they are about beaten and ready to give up, we take the burden and carry it to the finish line.

Not only do I try to get maximum benefits in the shortest time possible, but I hope to take a lot of the burden and uncertainty off the claimant's shoulders.  My goal is to help relieve some of the stress and emotional turmoil involved in seeking disability benefits.  

And the workload.  Handling a Social Security disability application or appeal can feel like a full time job. My office is prepared to handle all of this work so the claimant doesn't have to. 

When it comes time to go before a judge, I have to think that claimants are relieved to have an experienced advocate right there with them. It takes the guesswork and uncertainty out of the complicated procedure.  

I will provide a free conversation to anyone who needs disability benefits.  If we are not successful in recovering money for you, then you will never owe me a cent.  And I will never ask you for money upfront. My pay comes at the end of a successful case, never before.

My office specializes in disability for persons age 50+.  And claimants who have recently been denied. Please don't give up.

Please call for your free no-pressure conversation.  (256) 799-0297.

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:  ...
