23 Mar Experienced Attorney to Advocate for You
Every year, the SSA (Social Security Administration) receives thousands of applications claiming SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) and SSI (Supplemental Security Income) benefits, and approximately 70% of these applications get rejected at the very first stage. Completing the Social Security Administration’s appeals process is a long, difficult series of tasks. It is possible to be granted benefits without representation, however, if your initial claim has been denied, it is vital to hire an experienced attorney to present your claim on appeal.
Getting Approval on Initial Application – Filing an Application
Filing an application for seeking SSDI benefits is a complicated and confusing process. Unless you are well-acquainted with the rules and have proper knowledge of the procedure, it is highly probable that your application will be denied. The reason behind the denial of the majority of claims is attributed to unfamiliarity with the application process and inability to collect necessary medical documents and records to support the claim. Hiring an experienced attorney to manage these processes is vital and can have a significant impact on the outcome of your claim.
Attorney Representing You at Appeals
What happens when your claim is denied? Your attorney will represent you in filing for Reconsideration – a re-evaluation by the Social Security Administration of your initial application, including any new records or documentation submitted by you and your attorney. If your claim is denied at the Reconsideration level, your attorneys file a written request for the claim to be heard before an Administrative Law Judge. Prior to the hearing, your attorneys will obtain any relevant medical records, reports and evaluations, and statements from friends and family in support of your case. At your hearing, your attorney your attorney will present persuasive evidence from the record to the Administrative Judge to support your case.
