DON'T DELAY - APPEAL YOUR DENIED SOCIAL SECURITY CLAIM NOW

If you've been denied Social Security disability benefits, don't delay.  Take action NOW to protect your claim and get all your benefits.

The Social Security Administration will deny 8 out 10 disability claims filed in Alabama in 2025.  Many of these denials will come after a brief, mechanical review of the application.  Often, they will not get all of the medical evidence. Faulty denials are common.

The majority of denied claims can be won and paid with appeals.  Yes, appeals are time consuming, complex and frustrating.  But they often get your money for you, including back pay or past due benefits.

Here's how THE FORSYTHE FIRM can help you if you've recently been denied (denied within 60 days):

1.  We will meet with you and get to know your disability and your needs.  The consultation is free with no obligation.

2.  If you appoint us to represent you, we will review your denial carefully to see what went wrong.

3.  We will obtain any missing or additional evidence to support approval of your claim.

4.  We will file appeals as necessary to take your disability case up the chain of command--to higher authorities--to seek payment.

5.  When required, we will take your case to a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) and go with you to the hearing to protect your rights.  Note:  Over one-half of all denials are approved and paid at hearings.   

How much does all the work cost?  Absolutely nothing until you win and receive your past due benefits.  If you don't get past due benefits or "back pay," you will never pay a cent in legal fees--no matter how much we have worked on your case.  

We pledge to work tirelessly with you to get your benefits approved.  We have the skill, knowledge and experience to handle Social Security disability cases at all levels--from application to appeals.

Call (256) 799-0297 for a free consultation. You can begin with a phone call.  If a visit to our local office is desired, we will schedule an appointment at your convenience.  We never ask you for money!

RED FLAGS IN SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY CASES

  RED FLAGS IN A SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY CASE A red flag is something that causes concern or raises a problem in a Social Security disability case.   In short, it’s something that may get the claim denied or cause a big problem. Here are some of the red flags that we see crop up: ·          Work after the alleged onset date (AOD).   Since the process takes so long, many claimants feel that they are forced to return to work for income.   Social Security often sees this as a sign that the claimant is not disabled. ·          Severe substance abuse.   Chronic and frequent abuse of drugs or alcohol can pose problems. ·           A skimpy work record.   A claimant who has worked very little or has jumped from job to job frequently may not have good credibility. ·          Quitting wo...

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...

HOW TO COMPLETE A FUNCTION REPORT OR ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING FORM

After you apply for Social Security Disability (SSDI), you will be sent a FUNCTION REPORT to fill out and return.  This form asks a lot of very detailed questions about your daily activities:  driving, cooking, cleaning, dressing, visiting others, hobbies, etc. The Social Security Administration will use your answers to determine whether you can work or not.  You must show on this Function Report that you have limitations that do not permit you to work a full-time job.  You do this by showing your limitations in activities of daily living. Your goal in the Function Report is to show the struggles and challenges you have with everyday life.  It may not be sufficient to answer a question with "Yes" and fail to explain. For example:  "Can you drive?"  If you answer "Yes," Social Security will assume that your ability to drive is unlimited:  you can drive anytime, anywhere and as often or as far as you want.  That may not be true and would need t...
