Applying For Social Security Disability Benefits

You should apply for Social Security Disability Benefits as soon as you become disabled. You have the right to legal representation during your Social Security disability application. The Social Security Administration will work with our Social Security lawyers just as they would work with you in order for you to receive your disability benefits. Legal assistance may be important for your application to be approved. Contact our social security lawyers for a complimentary review and evaluation of your case.

Starter Kits Provided by Social Security Administration

The Social Security Administration now offers disability starter kits to help you prepare for a disability interview or disability application. The disability starter kits are for

adults and for children under 18. These kits will provide you with information about what will be required in a benefits application, the different programs available for people who qualify for disability benefits, as well as answers to frequently asked questions and checklists to ensure all your information is conveyed to the reviewing committee.

How the Application Process Works

After filing the disability benefits application, the Social Security Administration will review it. In the event more information is needed, the SSA will contact us.

The review board then determines if you qualify as disabled under social security law. Medical records will be reviewed, and the SSA will notify your attorney when the application has been approved.
