An attorney is the best tool you can access when trying to gain valuable social security disability benefits. Whether you are just beginning your application, or find yourself deep in an appeal or renegotiation, they have the knowledge of the process that can help you become more successful.
While there is no guaranteed fast-track process to getting your application process finished and decided upon, an attorney can help you expedite the matter in a few ways. Firstly, they can ensure your application includes every piece of supporting documents, medical evidence, and more that the SSA will need to make a decision. When people try to do this step themselves, they often miss at least a few key elements that need to be included for the SSA to make a decision on your case. Each time you fail to provide a piece of supporting documentation, your application decision will be pushed back a few weeks. To avoid an endless application cycle, hiring an attorney is necessary.
There are a few other key tasks an attorney can help you with in the first round of your application:
* They can clearly demonstrate how you “meet a listing,” or unable to perform work.
* They can help you communicate with your doctor, which will help you stay on top of filing the proper medical paperwork.
* Properly organize evidence and medical documentation to keep your application more likely to be approved by the SSA.
* They can alert social security in the case that you illness becomes terminal, allowing you to receive a truly expedited application process.
Since there is no true way to expedite an application, you should still expect some waiting time when first trying to gain social security disability benefits. However, an attorney will speed up the process overall by helping you to be prepared. This preparedness will also help strengthen your overall chances of success.
