Filing for disability is the right of every American citizen. When someone is injured or ill and no longer able to work, they can file for Social Security Benefits. Unfortunately, filing for benefits is sometimes a stressful process and individuals can be denied, even when they have rights to the benefits. Getting help from an attorney is sometimes an essential part of seeking the fair benefits a person is entitled to receive.
How to Get Legal Help
While it is not a requirement when filing for Social Security Benefits, many individuals feel more confident in getting help from an attorney. The attorney will meet with the individual and go over their needs. They will work to gather medical evidence and assist their client in filling out the necessary paperwork.
The process of filing for disability benefits is not overly difficult, but it can sometimes be confusing. Because many people are denied due to human error with their paperwork submission, it would be wise for individuals to seek legal help from the very beginning. When the attorney is involved in the process, there are less likely to be unnecessary delays and other problems that prevent a person from getting the disability benefits they deserve.
What About Denials?
Unfortunately, some people are denied their disability benefits claims. When this happens, the individual does have the right to appeal the decision. The attorney will help prepare the case for appeal. An administrative law judge will preside over the hearing and will be responsible for making the final decision.
The attorney will gather medical records and may bring in medical professionals to testify on behalf of the individual. The attorney will work to prove the disability of their client and ensure they receive the disability benefits they are entitled to receive.
