Filing a Disability Claim? Do It Right From the Beginning!

 Posted on October 08, 2014 in Uncategorized

The Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits Program is a complex legal endeavor governed by extensive rules and regulations. Requirements are strict and numerous. There are eligibility requirements that must be satisfied before benefits are granted. Those dealing with disabilities, be they physical or mental, often think that they can handle their claim on their own. Nothing could be further from the truth. In order to navigate the disability program, one should seek the legal assistance of an experienced attorney to develop the claim considering all the complex issues.

The sooner you contact an attorney the better. An attorney can review the specific details of a person's disability application. Every detail, even the little ones, can make a huge difference in developing the claim. There are many potential pitfalls present in the application and development process. Oversights in completing the application and submitting evidence can result in mistakes being made and numerous delays. Application mistakes often have unforseeable consequences and can create problems for the disability applicant. In turn, this can lead to delays in decisions made, and could potentially result in a denial on a claim that otherwise would have been approved.
