Why Hire An Experienced SSDI Attorney?

1
WHY HIRE AN EXPERIENCED
SSDI
ATTORNEY
to handle your disability claim?
2
Avoid Frustration
You can avoid the frustration of completing forms
and filing documents, worrying about what
information you need to provide, and when and
where you need to provide it.
Filing a claim is a confusing and time-consuming
process.
Your attorney will act as a buffer between you
and administrative bureaucrats.
3
Claimants receive a great deal of paperwork from
the Social Security Administration -- forms,
circulars, notices, requests, addendums,
affidavits. This paperwork is often complicated
and confusing.
What has to be filed? When? Where? With Whom?
Why? How? Your attorney knows and will help to
ensure that all of your paperwork is completed
and filed correctly, and on time.
A missed deadline can be critical to your claim.
When you hire an attorney, you benefit from the
attorney's claims-handling experience.
4
Get More of What You are Entitled to
A competent SSDI attorney will help you to
maximize your disability Claim.
Your attorney will make sure you understand all
of your entitlements. (For example, you may be
eligible for Medicaid or Medicare.)
Your attorney may also provide you with a list of
free and low-cost community programs designed to
support you in a crisis.
5
Higher Approval Rates
Social Security Administration statistics reveal
that, all else being equal, claims presented by
attorneys have a higher likelihood of being
approved than claims filed directly by claimants.
6
Why do claimants who hire lawyers do better with
the Social Security Disability process?
There are probably many good reasons. Some of
them have more merit than others. Following are
some of the reasons that make the most sense.
Knowing What the Social Security Administration
is Looking For.
7
Most disability claims are won (or lost) based on
medical records.
The rules for drawing disability benefits are
based on these concerns.
The Social Security Administration is looking for
information that can be useful in determining an
individual's capabilities, the extent of the
injury or illness, and how the injury or illness
may affect your ability to work.
The information doctors and other medical
professionals provide in these records is
generally presented from a perspective that is
most useful in treating injuries and illness.
8
Relationships
During the disability hearings and Appeals
portions of the claim process your attorney will
present your case before a judge.
While the judge doesn't know much about you, the
judge will likely be very familiar with your
attorney.
The judge will know whether the attorney has a
history of credibility or a history of skirting
the truth.
If the attorney has a credible history, the judge
may give the attorney's claims and recommendations
more weight in the decision making process.
9
Fewer Errors in Filing
Claims filed professionally are more likely to
be error-free.
A professional disability lawyer who works
with claim forms day in and day out is more
familiar with what information is needed.
Filing equirements can be tricky.
Not mailing required documentation in a timely
manner can be sufficient grounds to deny a claim.
10
Better Presentations
Experienced disability attorneys know what the
Social Security Administration is looking for.
While an ethical attorney would never mislead a
judge, the same facts can be presented in a
favorable light, or in an unfavorable light.
11
When you hire an experienced, competent attorney,
you can rest assured, knowing that your claim
will be handled professionally and quickly. Your
attorney will do everything in his or her power
to see that deserving people get benefits.
