Social Security Disability Attorney in East Falmouth, Massachusetts

A SSDI Lawyer Can Assist You in Receiving Disability Benefits

If your disability claim is denied at the initial stages and is bound for a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, it is inadvisable that you try to take this on alone. There are many reasons for this, but the outcome of unrepresented claimants at the hearing level of a disability claim is most likely denial of the case. If this happens, a disability claim could appear too weak to appeal to the next highest level and therefore, doomed from the beginning.

What difference does it make if you are represented or not at a hearing before an ALJ? Judges are human too, and may feel that a claimant for disability who shows up without representation has a weak case to start with. Most likely, the only medical evidence before the judge is medical reports that have been received months before the hearing, and therefore out of date. Without current medical evidence that substantiates a person’s claim for disability benefits, the certain outcome is a denial.
Furthermore, unrepresented claimants are not afforded the same courtesy as a disability attorney who is familiar with the framework of the Social Security Administration. Disability lawyers know that in order to win a disability benefits case, the information presented needs to be organized in such a way as to present a cohesive and comprehensive picture to the ALJ. Your disability lawyer will gather the necessary information to include not only laboratory and test results but doctor’s and therapist’s notes, as well as a detailed statement from your treating physician that explains how your disability affects your activities of daily living and ability to sustain substantial gainful employment. This can make all the difference in a social security disability claim.
East Falmouth Disability Benefits
The wait for disability benefits is long enough, but if you get to the hearing level and are not prepared and not properly represented, all the waiting will be for nothing. East Falmouth residents with disability claims cannot afford, like much of the country, to wait any longer than necessary for an approval of a disability claim. Many people are in severe and dire financial stress by the time your claim reaches an Administrative Law Judge, and a denial at this point is devastating.
With the proper representation and medical evidence, an appeals hearing in front of an Administrative Law Judge is a positive move and many claims are approved at this level, once a full picture, complete with current medical information, is presented in a compelling way. Although it takes time to get to this stage in the social security disability claim process, once your claim is there and the hearing takes place, you can depend on your disability attorney to get the job done.
