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.

MEETING SOCIAL SECURITY'S DURATION REQUIREMENT FOR DISABILITY

SSDI, or Social Security Disability Insurance, requires a severe impairment which has lasted for at least 12 straight months, is expected to last at least 12 straight months OR is expected to end in death. This 12 consecutive months requirement is called the "Duration Requirement."  Disabilities with a duration of less than 1 year are not covered under the Social Security Act. You do not have to wait 12 months to file a claim. There is no requirement to wait 12 months to file.  But if your disability has not already last for at least 12 months, the nature of the impairment must be such that is can reasonably be expected to last 12 months or longer OR to end in death.  Short term impairments are not covered. What you will need to document for your medical and/or mental impairment(s):   A claimant will require objective medical proof.  This comes in the form of official medical records from doctors, clinics, hospitals, counselors, therapists and other professiona...

SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS FOR DOWNS SYNDROME

Downs Syndrome may qualify for automatic SSI disability in children. A child with Translocation Syndrome or Trisomy 21 will usually be classified as disabled from birth. This type of syndrome affects about 98 percent of the Downs Syndrome population. Social Security will want a diagnosis from a medically acceptable source and they will want certain tests.Once the documentation is presented, an SSI award may be automatic.  Those with Mosaic Down syndrome may qualify, but your child would need more than a diagnosis to be approved. Because [according to SSA] people with Mosaic Down syndrome may not have as many intellectual or physical disabilities as those with other forms of Down syndrome, you’ll need to meet another listing in the Blue Book to qualify. Social Security will consider the complications or manifestations of Downs Syndrome in making a decision. If the claimant is a child (under 18), k eep in mind that SSI is a needs-based program for families with limited resources...

A DISABILITY DENIAL IS NOT THE END OF YOUR CASE

By Charles W. Forsythe The Forsythe Firm Social Security denies a lot of applications.  It's expected.  But it's not the end. The good news is:  You can probably win your case on appeal and get paid benefits.  It just takes a bit longer. About 8 out of 10 new disability claims will be routinely denied.  So, it's rather unusual to be approved just by filing an application. An appeal sounds like a last resort or tricky legal maneuver.  It's really quite common--almost  normal--in a Social Security disability case. 8 out 10 claims will be appealed at least once, often twice, before they are paid. The process that pays Social Security disability is not the application, it's the appeal process. Many claimants who don't understand the importance of appeals give up after the first denial.  A serious mistake.  You odds get better in appeals. TIME LIMIT ON APPEALS.  All unfavorable Social Security decisions must be appealed within 60 days.  ...
