Hiring a lawyer who specializes in Social Security law can be crucial to having your claim approved. Lawyers who specialize in Social Security law know exactly how to present your case so that, if you are disabled, you have the best chance of being declared so by the Social Security Administration (SSA).

If you find yourself unable to work due to serious illness or injury, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability payments. The process of applying for benefits and being declared disabled by the Social Security Administration can be time-consuming and frustrating. An attorney can simplify the process for you by navigating through the federal bureaucracy for you. Statistics from the Social Security Administration show that you are more likely to win your claim for benefits if you hire a lawyer to handle the process for you. Social Security law firms are paid on a contingency basis, meaning you only owe fees only if you win. A finding of disability will also make available Supplemental Security Income (SSI); Medicaid; or Medicare (health insurance).

Social security lawyers are able to represent you at any stage in the process, from filing an initial claim to appealing a previous denial. The Social Security Administration denies many claims initially, and one of the most common mistakes disability applicants make is not appealing that initial finding. A skilled social security disability attorney will personally examine their clients' medical records and use them to demonstrate your disability to a Social Security judge.

Having up-to-date medical records are crucial when trying to prove your disability to the Social Security Administration.
