Some ideas about what may happen with Social Security Disability during the Trump administration. The bottom line is that cases will not move any faster unless there is more money appropriated to hire staff and judges to do the work.

Stories Are Important to Your Case

The facts of your case must be believable to win.

Every work injury, auto injury or disability has a story.

Make sure that your story stands out.

The story starts when you are injured or when your illness begins.

Tell your story often and consistently throughout your medical treatment.

Tell the paramedics how you were injured and what body parts are hurting.

Tell the doctors how you were injured and how and where you hurt.

Tell the doctors and nurses what problems you have throughout the day.

Tell the doctors and nurses how you are limited in your daily activities.

Tell the doctors and nurses and therapists and counselors what you need to make it through the day.

Make sure that you tell everyone your story from the beginning to the completion of your medical treatment.

Your story makes a difference.

Let me know about your story. Call Illinois injury and disability attorney Dirk May at 309-827-4371.

Social Security Disability Tips

The early stages of your disability case make a big difference and may cause you to win or lose your case.

Make sure that you get an experienced Social Security Disability lawyer to help you file the application.

Important questions are asked about the conditions that keep you from working, your doctors and hospital treatment, and your past work.

You need to understand why Social Security is asking these questions and what it means for your disability case.

Make sure that you get help with the forms Social Security sends you.

They include questions about daily functioning and activities, and the history of your work duties.

Social Security is trying to determine whether your ability to function on a daily basis translates to being able to work full time.

Be very careful with the way you answer these questions.

Your past work duties are very important because if Social Security thinks you can perform them, then you are not disabled.

You can get help from a Social Security Disability attorney because they only get paid if you win, and the payment is from your back benefits and it is limited by Social Security.

Custom Legal Help- Why Those Social Security Questions are So Important

Social Security is famous for sending out a large number of questionnaires.

They cover anything from daily activities, work history, headaches, pain to drug and alcohol abuse.

They are very important because the people who review them are using your medical records and your answers on the forms to determine your level of functioning.

This ultimately leads to a decision on whether or not you are disabled.

It is important to know why the questions are being asked.

It is also important to understand how the answers fit into the rules and law and why certain answers may mean you are disabled or not.

Do not attempt to answer the questions on the forms without guidance from an experienced Social Security Disability lawyer.

Misunderstanding a question may result in you being found disabled.

Custom legal services means that your lawyer is sitting down with you and going through the questions with you so that you understand why it is being asked and making sure that you are giving Social Security a complete and honest picture of your limitations and past work history.

It is also important to fax your answers to the Social Security office listed on the forms. This insures timely filing of your answers and that they are sent directly to your electronic file without them being lost.
