Why Do I Need a Lawyer for My SSDI Claim?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) is continually looking for ways to streamline and simplify the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI)processes people have to go through to obtain disability benefits. As sincere as those efforts may be, the process remains a long, complicated and tedious one. The best evidence of this is the fact that nearly one million disability claims are initially denied each year — many on the basis of minor technicalities.
Statistically speaking, however, your chances of winning improve significantly if you have an attorney help you complete your SSDI or SSI application or represent you in an appeal. Additionally, an experienced disability benefits attorney can assist you with the various aspects included in the application and appeals processes such as:
- Properly filling out forms: Many of the required forms are confusing, making mistakes and the possibility of your money and benefits being denied or unnecessarily delayed more likely.
- Gathering all necessary documentation: It's difficult to gather all of the medical evidence and documentation the SSA wants you to provide when you don't know exactly what those things are and can't get a straight, easy-to-understand answer from anyone.
- Creating a compelling case: Don't rely on a federal government employee to diligently pursue and obtain your medical records. The government employee who reviews your claim doesn't know you and can't see how your disability has impacted your life. We can help you put together a strong, compelling claim to ensure that you get a chance to tell your story.
- Understanding the nuances involved in working with the government: We understand how the government will evaluate your claim and the documentation and content necessary for you to get the money and benefits you deserve and need.
