Social Security Disability Lawyer in Thomasville, Georgia

Get a Thomasville SSI/SSD Attorney to help with your Disability Benefits Application

For many people applying for a social security disability benefit comes as a bit of a shock. You may have already had a shock in realizing that whatever illness or injury led to your disability, but then finding that there is more to being granted disabled benefits than you thought can be frustrating, and even more of a slap in the face if your SSI SSDI claim is turned down.

If you are just beginning this process the SSA (Social Security Administration) offices in Thomasville are here:

Or call the Social Security Administration’s national toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213.

It may be worth your while contacting a disability lawyer before you make your first SSI or SSDI claim as they know what some of the complexities involved are and you have a better chance of having your claim accepted at the first level. Basically the more evidence that is required by the SSA the longer you may have to wait, especially if your SSI SSDI claim goes to appeal.

It is a good idea to take a close look at the SSA impairment list to get an idea of where your particular disability fits in. There are certainly plenty of ailments listed that are considered disabling enough but it can take some effort proving severity levels. Some disabilities by their very nature are more difficult to assess than others.

Even though you will always get a fair hearing the appeal process can be rather daunting. Statistically you simply have a better chance of being declared disabled if you have a disability attorney to represent you. Of course there is nothing to stop you taking the bull by the horns and representing yourself if you feel you have a very strong case, but you should be very confident that can collect everything required and present it well. If your initial application is declined you will need to have your appeal filed within 60 days.
