Social Security Disability is hard to get so make sure your lawyer is helping you as much as possible.
If you need your lawyer to come see you in the hospital or at your home make sure that you ask the lawyer.
Your lawyer should help you file your application online. You want to have all the advice and input necessary before you provide any information to Social Security.
When you get any paperwork from Social Security make sure you call your attorney. Completing forms regarding your past relevant work and your daily activities are very important. You should go over all answers with your lawyer before submitting it to Social Security.
If you are denied make sure you call your lawyer right away, and go over the appeal information together and have your lawyer submit it to Social Security.
Once you reach the hearing stage you should go over and update all medical information with your lawyer several months before the hearing.
Getting ready for the hearing and discussing the questions that will be asked at the hearing is crucial.
Only an experienced Social Security Disability attorney can prepare you for the questions the Judge will ask at the hearing, and explain what you need to prove to win your case.
Finally, if you need a ride to get to the hearing then your attorney should be able to help if you cannot get there with family or friends.
