There are 5 good reasons to consider using an attorney to get Social Security disability benefits.
1. Your chance of success is at least twice as good with an attorney. A national study shows that claimants who don't use an attorney are approved 31 percent of the time. Claimants who use an attorney are approved 60 percent of the time.
2. Social Security is a very complicated program of the federal government. It's rules, regulations and requirements are complex and hard to understand.
3. About two-thirds of all claims will require 2 separate appeal processes to be paid. One of the appeals will be a hearing before a federal Administrative Law Judge. Judges are not interested in holding hearings without lawyers. Claimants are not likely to win appeals without a lawyer.
4. Your attorney can help you obtain the medical and vocational evidence needed to be approved. Your attorney will know exactly what type of evidence it takes to prevail with Social Security. It isn't easy. Is is usually a legal fight.
5. According to federal law, your attorney cannot charge you a fee unless your case is successful and you receive retroactive pay. In short, IF YOU DON'T WIN, YOU DON'T PAY.
