Hiring a Lawyer for your Social Security Disability Claim

If you are permanently disabled and can no longer work, you may be entitled to collect either Social Security Disability benefits or Supplemental Security Income. Unfortunately, the laws dealing with disability are complex and many times people who apply for these benefits are turned down, even though they have completed the proper forms. Although representation by a lawyer is not required to pursue a Social Security Disability or Supplemental Security Income claim, you may need an attorney to cut through the red tape and help you fight for the benefits you may deserve.

An attorney can help you to:

• Gather medical records and reports.
• Gather evidence particular to your claim.
• Gather documents from your Social Security file.
• Determine the best course of action for your claim based on Social Security regulations.
• Confer with your physician regarding your condition and the regulations under Social Security.
• Suggest a “second opinion” on your condition by having the Social Security Administration send you to a doctor.
• Review prior actions taken by the Social Security Administration.
• Provide helpful advice to you on how to prepare for your Social Security hearing.
• Provide legal counsel at the hearing to ensure a fair and proper procedure.
• Review, object to, or make changes to the written questions being sent to a doctor by the Administrative Law Judge overseeing your hearing who may request an additional medical opinion.
• Make sure the Social Security Administration gives you your correct benefit payment, if your claim is approved.
• Request a review of the hearing decision by the Social Security Administration Appeals Council, if your claim is denied at the hearing level. This request must be made within a certain time frame.
• Request a review of the Social Security Administration Appeals Council decision by the Federal District Court if your claim was denied at the Appeals Council level. This request must be made within a certain time frame

Hiring an experienced law firm as your advocate during the appeals process could mean the difference in whether you ultimately collect Social Security Disability benefits or not.
