FIND A SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY ADVOCATE NEAR YOU
Social Security denies about 80 percent of all disability applications. When you consider their definition of "disability," you begin to understand why.
Here is their definition of "disability" for most claimants:
"You are medically unable perform any of your past jobs. You are also medically unable to perform any other job which exists in the United States of America."
The burden of proof is on you, the claimant. Fail to prove their definition of "disability," and you get no benefits.
That's why about 8 out of 10 applications for SSDI benefits are denied, year after year.
There are ways to prove that you are disabled, even according to Social Security's strict definition. But it usually requires a complicated and technical appeal, involving a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge.
To prove you are disabled, you will generally need the assistance of an experienced and committed advocate, attorney or what Social Security calls a "representative."
According to federal regulations, you will not pay this representative a fee until you win your case and collect a settlement of back payments. The Social Security Administration must approve the amount of the fee in advance (before it is paid).
Most advocates, attorneys or "representatives" will give you a free consultation, during which they will consider the facts of your case, consider what the law says, and give you an evaluation of what you need to do.
The following factors are always important in an SSDI case:
Persons under age 50 must prove either that they (1) Meet a published Listing, or (2) Cannot perform any full-time work that exists in the United States economy.
