SUREST WAY TO CORRECT A DENIED DISABILITY CLAIM AND GET PAID

  Social Security Disability claims are denied 8 times out of 10.  Approval on the first application is rare.  Things you should know:

1.  Getting an early denial does NOT mean that you are not qualified or that you are not disabled.  

2.  Social Security's approval process is flawed and produces an error rate of over 50 percent.  Yes.  More than one-half of the denials issued for SSDI applications are wrong.  The system is programed to deny you.

Over one-half of denials can be overturned and PAID on appeal.

• It may take 2 appeals to get approved.

  --Reconsideration (first appeal) likely to be denied, too.

  --Hearing before Administrative Law Judge (your best chance).

  According to a study by the US Government, you are 3 times more likely to be approved if you are represented by an experienced Social Security disability lawyer.  3 times more likely!

  What Does an Experienced Attorney Cost?

  Nothing until after you are approved and receive past due benefits from the Social Security Administration.

  While a lawyer's fee can often run from $250 to $450 per hour, Social Security does not allow lawyers to charge you this kind of money for Social Security representation.

  Under Social Security regulation, you may only be charged an attorney fee AFTER:

  1. You have been approved

  2. You have received a lump sum payment of past due benefits.

     You pay nothing up front.  You never pay a fee until your claim is approved and past due benefits are paid.  If you don't get approved, or if you don't receive past due benefits--there is NO FEE.

     The Social Security Administration guarantees you NO FEE unless you are approved and receive your past due benefits (sometimes called "Back Pay").

     If you receive past due benefits, your pay may never exceed 25 percent of the past due benefit and the fee is often less, depending on the size of your award.  This fee is reviewed and approved by Social Security, withheld out of your past due settlement and paid directly by the Social Security Administration.

     Social Security disability is a legally complex system of applications and appeals.  It always involves gathering strong medical proof.
