Everett-Social-Security-Disability-No-Fee

Whether your disability is physical, psychological or both, appropriate medical care and documentation of your care and treatment are key. We have handled numerous SSDI/SSI appeals, and we know what the Social Security Administration looks for when approving a claim for social security benefits. We will fully prepare a strong and strategized case for presentation to a federal Administrative Law Judge by working with medical experts and medical care providers to prove your disability.

You Pay No Out-of-pocket Fees

Federal laws control how attorneys are paid for Social Security Disability (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits claims. If your benefits are granted, the SSA will pay you retroactively from the date you applied for benefits and possibly up to 18 months prior to your application date. We will be paid 25 percent of this retroactive amount or $7,200, whichever is less. The SSA will pay us directly, so that you will not have to pay us out of your own pocket.

Why would Social Security Disability benefits be denied?

Going through the Social Security Disability process can be incredibly difficult, and there are various reasons why a claim may be denied. This can include:

  • Prior denials: In some cases, Social Security Disability benefits applicants will restart the application process after a denial instead of going through the official appeals channels. This will likely only result in another denial.
  • Income limitations: The Social Security Administration will only approve disability benefits for those who are unable to work due to their disabling condition. In general, earning an income will be a disqualifying factor.
  • Failure to follow treatment: If a Social Security Disability benefits applicant fails to follow doctor-prescribed treatment protocols, this could result in a loss of benefits or a denial of benefits.
  • Failure to cooperate: If the Social Security Disability benefits applicant fails to respond to requests for documentation or fails to show up at the scheduled medical exams, this will likely result in a denial of benefits.
  • A lack of medical evidence: Those applying for Social Security Disability benefits must prove that they are unable to work due to their disabling condition. In order to prove this, the applicant will need medical records that show that their disability specifically prevents them from performing work-related tasks. This can include records from your primary care physician. Anytime you see your doctor, it is important to let them know about your disability and how it impacts your work life so that they can document this as part of your official records.

The reality is that only around 30% of Social Security Disability benefits applications are approved after the initial application. Many of the denials revolve around technical issues or medical treatment issues that an attorney would be able to guide you through. Unfortunately, appealing a Social Security Disability denial can be even more complicated than the original application process, and there are stringent deadlines involved.
