No one wants to be disabled and to have to rely on Social Security for their income. The first thing you must know is that no one can live on the small pittance that Social Security pays per month; however, there are situations that make Social Security unavoidable. The Second thing you must know is that just because you have met with a medical situation, that is no reason that you should not be treated with dignity and respect. You can rest assured that we will always remember that except for the grace of the Lord, we could be in the same shoes as you. I have never met a client that wants to be disabled; however, disabilities do happen.
Social Security Disability is a legal determination based upon medical evidence that you can no longer engage in gainful employment. There are two major classifications of disability, Closed periods, where you are expected to recover from your illness and permanent disability, that is expected to last for years. Either way the important matter is that there is Social Security disability there to help lessen your burden. We will be more than happy to look at your medical evidence to see if you qualify for Social Security Disability. As usual, our office has never charged for a first consultation.
Most people do not realize that you cannot just walk into the Social Security Office and say you are disabled and then draw benefits. You must have medical evidence of the disability. Most Doctors do not know how to fill out the disability paperwork, as they are to busy caring for patients and they rely, erroneously on their staff to complete the paperwork. Most clients to not realize that they must see their doctors and get the proper paperwork completed, as Judges do not base decisions on two year old medical records. You must keep going to the doctor and get routine evaluations if you expect to get disability.
The next thing is there are two ways to get disability at the appeal stage, on the record appeals and hearings before an Administrative Law Judge. Some attorneys will not apply for an on the record appeal, as this speeds up the process ant results in a lesser attorneys fee. Our office will do whatever best benefits the client and if you are eligible for an on the record decision, we will ask for an on the record appeal. You need an attorney that will look after your interest and not the interest of the attorney. In the long term your best interest and the attorneys best interest are the same.
