Social Security Disability

Are you familiar with all the laws and regulations and procedures pertaining to Social Security disability? Unless you are an expert who specializes in Social Security disability, it's virtually impossible to know and understand all the information surrounding disability benefits. Fortunately, there are Social Security disability lawyers who dedicate their professional lives to understanding the laws and regulations that govern the Social Security Administration.

During the beginning stages of filing a disability claim, the Social Security Administration (SSA) denies approximately 91 out of every 100 claims filed. This statistic comes from its own records. Moreover, over 60 percent of the disability claims that go on appeal are found by the courts to have been incorrectly decided. Given these numbers, it is imperative for you to secure the right services to efficiently navigate you through this seemingly unfair process.

Don't Do It Yourself

With rising budget deficits and the mounting costs of war, you can expect the laws and regulations that govern the Social Security Administration to become more convoluted and more stringent. The United States government is hemorrhaging money. In today's United States, if you don't know all the ins and outs of the law, your chances of collecting disability benefits, even when you have a perfectly legitimate claim, might not be very good. You wouldn't hire a carpenter to do your taxes, so you shouldn't hire yourself to collect your disability benefits. It doesn't make sense. Find an attorney who has experience under his or her belt who can guide you through this cumbersome process. Here at the offices of James R. Linehan we have the experience, clout, determination and credibility to back you up.

Navigating the laws and regulations that surround the Social Security Administration requires the direction of an established professional who specializes in federal and state disability benefits.

Have you tried to obtain your disability benefits without the aid of legal counsel? Were you subsequently denied benefits?

A large percentage of people are denied disability benefits at the initial application phase because the average American doesn't think to seek legal counsel.

Social Security Disability Lawyer

The process of finding a Social Security disability lawyer can be as burdensome as properly applying for disability benefits. With the laws, regulations, and procedures structured the way they are, you certainly need the aid of a lawyer. Finding a top-notch attorney who collects fees on a contingency basis might take some time if you don't know where to look.

There are several steps one must take when filing a Social Security disability claim. First, apply immediately for benefits even if you have been out of work for less than a year. The longer you wait, the greater the chance you have of losing benefits.

Instead of Plodding Through the Process

Like a majority of people who file for disability benefits, your application stands a good chance of being denied. If that occurs, you will file a "reconsideration." This must be filed within 60 days of the denial of your first application. If you miss this deadline, then you might be forced to file another initial application. If your reconsideration is denied, then you'll have to file a "Request for Hearing."

Like the reconsideration, you have 60 days to file for an Administrative Hearing if your reconsideration is denied. At the hearing, various experts can present for and against your case. This hearing is informal in nature and performed under oath. If the judge rules against you, then you can request an Appeals Council Review. It's often necessary to jump through all these hoops to receive disability benefits--and chances are, you won't get them unless you solicit the help of a Social Security disability lawyer. At the offices of James R. Linehan, we will guide you through the process of filing and receiving your disability claims successfully.
