Benefits of Having a Lawyer for Social Security Disability
You can’t keep going in your job because of serious health problems, but applying for Social Security Disability is a job in itself.
Having a disability lawyer is a great way to lighten your burden.
These are some of the tasks your lawyer takes on for you:
- Helping you gather all of the information you need
- Helping you avoid mistakes on your application forms
- Working directly with your doctors and care providers to collect medical evidence
- Providing medical records directly to the Social Security office or claims examiner on your case
- Ensuring you meet all deadlines
- Reviewing and appealing denial decisions by Social Security
- Preparing you for your disability hearing with an administrative law judge
- Speaking for you in the hearing
- Cross-examining medical or vocational experts who testify about you
- Making advanced appeals for your claim
But the most important reason to work with a Social Security Disability lawyer may be this: increasing your chances of winning benefits.
One government study found that when people went to hearings with disability judges, they were almost three times more likely to be approved for benefits if they had a representative like a lawyer with them.
