A Disability Lawyer Can Help With The Application

A disability lawyer can prepare your claim and apply on your behalf. This way, you will not have to go to the Social Security office and wait in line or spend hours on hold on the phone.

The SSDI application involves a lot of paperwork — forms, medical records, and other documents about your physical or mental condition. Hiring a disability lawyer will help you cut down on the amount of time required to fill out extensive paperwork and alleviate the headache of trying to understand SSA language.

Determining which information is required for your claim can be difficult, but a disability representative can take care of everything. We know what medical evidence is necessary to submit to the SSA based on your specific medical condition. We will work with you to gather detailed medical records, referrals, and medication history needed to substantiate your claim.

How Disability Apply Can Increase Your Chances of Approval

Our experienced disability lawyers have experience meeting the strict criteria of the SSA and can help ensure your claim satisfies their requirements. They know how to avoid a claim denial based on a bureaucratic technicality and help expedite the application process.

At Disability Apply, we understand that many applicants are going through a hard time. You may still need to care for your family while battling your condition and you may not have the time needed to deal with the SSA. A Disability Apply representative will keep track of your claim’s status and make sure you meet all the deadlines. We will alert you of any SSA requests and speak with the SSA representatives on your behalf to answer questions that may arise regarding your application.

A Disability Lawyer Can Help At The Hearing Stage

In the event that your claim is denied or has already been denied, a disability lawyer can identify the problem and appeal the decision. This will greatly increase your chances for success once your case is in front of an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) or at any other appeals stage.

The hearing can be a nerve-wracking experience for any individual, but having an experienced disability lawyer by your side will give you greater peace of mind. A disability lawyer will represent you at a court hearing, help you prepare, and advocate for you during the hearing. For example, a lawyer can:

• Prepare you to testify.
• Object to improper evidence at the hearing.
• Cross-examine any witnesses.
• Deliver a closing statement.
• Write up a summary of the evidence and argument.

Statistics show that applicants who hire a disability lawyer are twice as likely to win a disability case compared to individuals who go through it alone. Hiring a lawyer could make the difference between winning and losing your Social Security disability appeals hearing.

Finalizing a Claim

After your disability claim is approved, your attorney will review the calculations presented by the SSA when determining your disability pay. The attorney will determine if any errors were made or if any information was missed to work toward making sure you receive all benefits you are eligible for.

You can also ask questions and express any concerns about the details of receiving your new benefits. Then, if everything is in order, your first check will be paid for the sixth full month after the date your disability was found to begin.

How Is a Social Security Disability Lawyer Paid?

The SSA has regulations that establish how a disability lawyer is paid. When you hire a disability lawyer for your disability claim, you will not need to pay anything upfront or even out of pocket. Disability lawyers take claims on a contingency basis, which means that we don’t get paid until you are awarded benefits.

Once we are successful at making sure your benefits approved, we will receive a one-time fee that equals 25% of the past-due benefits you are awarded, which is often referred to as backpay. The fees are tightly controlled and mandated by the Federal Government to ensure fairness to the applicant. Then, all of your future monthly payments are entirely yours.
