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.

MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS IN A SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY CASE

What are the top 3 most important factors in a Social Security disability case? 1.  Medical Evidence. 2.  Medical Evidence 3.  Medical Evidence 4-10     Medical Evidence Federal regulations set the eligibility requirements for Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits.  A claimant must meet these strict legal requirements More than anything else, the claimant's medical evidence will determine the outcome of the claim or appeal.  Without strong objective medical evidence Social Security cannot legally pay you a benefit. 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...
