If you are thinking about filing an application for benefits through the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs, consider the benefit of hiring an experienced disability lawyer from Disability Partners, PLLC. Federal regulations and procedures set in place by the Social Security Administration (SSA) make the process complicated and confusing unless you work with an SSDI lawyer with an unsurpassed knowledge of Social Security regulations and years of experience.
Although more than 12 million people currently receive benefits through SSI and SSDI, the SSA determination process denies benefits to more than 66% of applicants. You may be clearly disabled and still receive a denial notice. A common reason is that qualifying for disability benefits requires more than proving a medically determinable physical or mental impairment.
You also must satisfy strict financial requirements for each program that require the following:
An SSD lawyer makes a difference by ensuring that your application for benefits avoids the common mistakes that can prolong the processing time or result in a denial. An experienced disability claim lawyer knows what the SSA looks for in an application and the medical evidence required to support the claim, so you know that your application has the best chance of being approved.
A denial letter after waiting so long for a determination of your claim can be devastating, but you should not give up. Instead, rely upon an experienced and compassionate SSI lawyer or an SSDI lawyer to fight for the disability benefits that you deserve to receive. You only have 60 days to appeal a denial or other adverse determination made by the SSA on your application, so do not make any delay in contacting an SSD lawyer.
The disability appeal process has four levels at which a denial of benefits can be overturned:
A disability benefits lawyer with prior experience of challenging adverse determinations through all levels of the appeal process improves your chance of success by crafting persuasive arguments in favor of a reversal and supporting them with solid evidence derived from medical and other records.
When you want assistance with an application, appeal, or any issue related to benefits through the SSA, rely on an experienced disability benefits lawyer for skillful and compassionate representation. Contact Disability Partners, PLLC, for a free consultation and claim review.
