Social Security Options For Denied Applicants

Posted in on 23.06.11

Although having a legal or non-legal representative is not a requirement in filing a disability claim, it will work for your best interests to have someone who is knowledgeable on disability cases to assist you with your claim. The best person to help you with this is an attorney.

First, you may be an individual who is just about to apply for your benefits.

Do you know that 60 to 70% of initial claims filed into the SSA are denied? Getting a representation even at the preliminary steps will certainly help you improve your chances of earning an approval. Claimants will do better by having an advocate involved in their case as early as possible.

Getting a SSA attorney following your initial application is also proven beneficial. It is never too late to get assistance. Your Social Security Consultant can help you with the further processes of your claims. You can still benefit from representation even at this time if you need someone to help you complete paperwork or make follow up status calls or send emails to Social Security service online.

On the other hand, if you are a claimant denied of your initial application, seeking a representative will definitely be helpful. Having your claim reconsidered without legal help is proven unwise. SSA attorneys are especially useful when it comes to appeals after denial of application. Do not make the mistake of going to court without a representative. Otherwise, it may have unfavorable consequences.
