If you are disabled and cannot work, you may qualify for Social Security Disability. This is a federal program administered by the Social Security Administration. You have to apply for the program, and there is an approval process that you have to go through. You may be denied the first time you apply, in which case you should appeal. If you are worried about being denied the first time you apply, there are some things that you can do to help keep that from happening. One of those things is to hire an attorney who works with Social Security Disability claims. An attorney can help you with your application in several ways.
Medical Evidence
When you file for Social Security Disability for medical reasons, you must have medical evidence to support your claim. You need your medical records from all the doctors you see or have seen for your disability, including specialists. Your primary care physician may also have to fill in the Social Security Administration paperwork describing your disability and how it affects your life. Getting that information can be time-consuming; you may have to talk to several people to get the records. Your attorney can help you gather your medical evidence and figure out exactly what you need to send in and get it sent in. If you can send in as much medical evidence as possible when you apply, you are more likely to have a speedier process.
Supporting Evidence
On top of your medical evidence, you also need to have some supporting evidence. This is evidence that you can get from family members and friends. Part of your application will be forms you give your family members or close friends so they can fill them out. These forms will ask about how well you can do certain things, how much help you need, and if you can be independent. Each of these forms is several pages long and can be really confusing. Your friends and family may need help filling out the paperwork. Your attorney can help explain any issues with the people filling out the forms and tell them the best way to fill them out.
If you cannot work because of a disability, you may qualify for Social Security Disability. You need to apply and see what happens. To make the process easier on yourself, you can hire a Social Security Disability attorney to help you.
