How to Begin a Social Security Disability Claim?

Whether Social Security Administration considers you “disabled” is determined by your inability to work. The government agency, (SSA), considers you disabled if:

• You can no longer do the work you did before;
• The Social Security Administration decides you are unable to adjust to other work because of your medical condition(s); and
• Your disability has lasted or is likely to last for at least one year or to result in death.

Why is applying for Social Security Disability benefits confusing?

You may think that if you just explain your situation to the Social Security Disability Office that someone will understand and award you social security disability benefits. In reality, that’s not the way the Social Security Disability System works. It is a complex system created and governed by laws which must be followed. You cannot turn up for your hearing unprepared and expect a favorable outcome.

Our team of Attorneys and Paralegals will work tirelessly to prepare your case and present it before the judge. When you hire Avard Law, your attorney will be with you every step of the way. Applying for Social Security Disability benefits involves a complex legal process. You must prove you are “disabled” according to the Social Security Disability Program (SSDP) legal definition.

Why are most Social Security Applications Denied?

The Social Security Disability system involves thousands of rules, regulations, and procedures. You can be denied benefits if your doctor doesn’t know the legal definition of disability, or if a Social Security employee fails to obtain medical evidence on your behalf. You can also lose your case if an appeal is handled improperly. It is best to have a Social Security Disability Attorney to represent you, like the ones at Avard Law.
