Latest Disability News Shows Need for Lawyer

The investigative journalism of the Nashville Newspaper has shined a light on Social Security’s disability review procedures.

Doctors are paid per file to review Social Security claimants’ cases.

The faster they go, the more money they make.

They also deny many, many cases.

Frightening to think you are in the hands of someone like this.

SSA hopes that many people who are denied will never appeal and go away.

It saves the government a large amount of money.

Make sure that you understand the process and your rights.

It does not cost any upfront money to hire an experienced Social Security Disability lawyer. The lawyer is only paid if you win your case and you collect money.

You should get a Social Security lawyer right away to help you with your case and to appeal any denials as soon as possible.

What to Do When Social Security Denies Your Disability

Social Security has set a very complex system for deciding if people are disabled.

You must be very careful to follow all the rules or you may be penalized.

The initial level is the application for disability benefits.

If you are denied at this level you must appeal within 60 days.

Failure to appeal will require you to start all over again, and it will prevent you from obtaining any back benefits before the date of your denial.

If you are denied at the second level, then once again you will have 60 days to appeal.

Appealing at the second level gives you the right to a hearing before an administrative law judge.

The hearing is your first opportunity to have a conversation with the decision maker face to face, and convince the judge that you are disabled.

There are appeal rights after the Administrative Law Judge decision.

All your appeals are very important to you because they control your rights to future and back benefits.

It does not cost any upfront money to see an experienced Social Security Disability Lawyer.
