Ensure a Successful Claim By Using a Social Security Disability Lawyer



Individuals with Disabilities most often are not able to work to support themselves. The reasons for Disabilities vary, and can be as the result of an accident,  or an illness or even date back to a person’s Birth.  The requirements to be eligible for social security disability payments are very specific. When applying it is important to organize all of your medical history, work and educational history, your relevant personal information and proof of all income.

If your claim for disability benefit payments is approved, the Social Security Administration may grant back pay dating back to when you first were unable to work.  In other cases you may be granted back pay from the date you applied for SSDI payments.  You must be honest in presenting your information when your claim is reviewed.  Presenting false information most often results in a denial of disability benefits.

Social Security requires a clear reason why you need social security
disability benefits payments.  Those reasons must be within their regulations and requirements.  Certain disabilities may not meet the SSDI requirements and your claim will be denied.  You can resubmit your information for reconsideration, but without the help of a qualified Lawyer, in most cases your claim will be rejected again.

Hiring a qualified social security disability benefit lawyer will greatly improve the chances of your case being approved when it’s brought before a disability Judge in court.   The success rate when using a Lawyer gives you a 40%-60% better chance of being granted benefits, than with no Lawyer. An attorney will be able to look at your rejected claim and help you prepare for your court hearing with the Judge. Most Lawyers handling social security cases do not get paid unless you are granted benefits.  Their fee is usually paid directly from The Social Security Administration before your payments are disbursed to you; giving you the added benefit of having no out of pocket costs when hiring a Lawyer.
