HUNTSVILLE ALABAMA SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY OPPORTUNITIES

There are opportunities to get Social Security disability in 2025 in the Huntsville, AL area.

 About 60 percent of claimants will be approved IF they stick it out to the end of the process. This often involves appearing at a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ).

Some of my clients have received past due benefits ("back pay") of nearly $100,000 at the end of a successful hearing.  About 9 out of 10 of my clients receive some back pay.

Social Security is notorious for denying claims at the first 2 levels:  the application level and the "reconsideration" level.

However, once you get before an Administrative Law Judge your odds of being approved get significantly higher.

The cardinal rule in Social Security disability is this:  Never give up and appeal every unfavorable decision until you get the right decision!

You don't have to get an attorney to represent you before Social Security.

BUT

Your odds of being approved are 3 time higher if you are represented. 

 If I represent you in a Social Security disability claim you will PAY NO FEE unless you win your claim and receive back pay (past due benefits).  

Unfortunately, many claimants get a denial letter and just give up.  This is the biggest mistake you can make with Social Security disability. The majority of these denials represent ERRORS.  How do we fix an error?  We appeal the case to a higher authority for a closer review.

The Forsythe Firm has been representing Social Security disability claimants in Alabama for over two decades.  We have helped thousands of individuals win their benefits, get approved for Medicare and recover thousands of dollars in benefits.

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...

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...
