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.

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...

MISTAKES THAT RUIN A SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY APPLICATION

MISTAKES THAT RUIN A SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY APPLICATION  The paperwork for Social Security disability is daunting:  page after page of never-ending questions.  But, since most applications will be denied, it behooves you to complete the application correctly.  Here are some mistakes on your Social Security disability application that may ruin your claim.   Failing to Fill Out the Forms —The Social Security Administration (SSA) will send you a lot of forms to fill out.

Writing Illegibly —If your case reviewer can’t read your answers, then he/she can’t really say that you answered that question. Be sure the  answers to questions are nea...

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...
