Are you unable to work due to a physical or mental disability? An individual who has enough qualifying weeks with the Social Security Administration (SSA), could be eligible to receive monthly payments by applying for Social Security Disability (SSD). Many individuals are denied after their initial application and will have to file for reconsideration and possibly an appeal to be successful with their case.
The Social Security Administration has specific requirements to be approved for disability. Mistakes during the application can result in a denial, even when the individual is physically or mentally disabled. Social Security Disability Attorney in Port St. Lucie FL can help a person file their claim and help them be successful with their claim.
Deadlines
When the SSA denies an individual, there will be specific deadlines that must be met to keep the claim active. As soon as a letter of denial is received, an attorney should be contacted. If the individual misses the deadline, a new claim will have to be started. The disability process through the Social Security Administration can take several months to several years when an individual has been denied.
How Can A Disability Attorney Help?
A Social Security Disability Attorney in Port St. Lucie FL will personally meet with an individual and work with them to obtain all of the necessary documentation for their claim. The attorney will make sure the evidence is in the language and format the Social Security Administration will understand. If the attorney needs to obtain more information about the injuries, they will discuss the case with the client’s doctor or suggest a doctor for the individual to visit.
If a hearing is necessary, a disability attorney will work closely with a client to prepare them for the process. This includes explaining the information the judge will need to know and how they should dress for the hearing.
