Social Security Disability Attorney in Lawrence, Massachusetts

A Lawrence SSDI Lawyer Can Help You Get Disability Benefits

In addition to seeking out and maintaining current and ongoing medical treatment for medical evidence as it relates to your disability claim, it is also important for you to submit a current phone number and address to the Social Security information and to update it as necessary, should you happen to move. There are several reasons a representative from the SSA will need to contact you, and if they are unable, it could negatively impact the status of your disability claim.
The SSA Offices for Lawrence, Massachusetts are located: 


Or call the Social Security Administration’s national toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213.
Once your application is received by the claims representative of the SSA, it is then sent to the state disability agency where it is assigned to a Disability Examiner, who evaluates your disability claim and begins to send out requests for medical information. At some point, the Disability Examiner may need to contact you regarding the list of medical contacts you have submitted, or the DE may determine that you need to be seen by a Consultative Examiner. If the DE is unable to contact you, your claim could be denied immediately because your whereabouts are “unknown”; a consultative examination was scheduled and you failed to attend, or simple labeled as “failure to cooperate”.
If this were to happen and your disability claim denied, you have no other option but to start from the beginning and file your claim all over again, since the option for an appeal would not apply. Valuable time is lost, and the waiting period increases along with the frustration level. In addition, without a current address you could miss notices regarding deadlines, which can also negatively impact your disability claim, as well as notices about the determination of your disability claim and any checks should your claim have been approved.

Lawrence Disability Claims

Many Lawrence residents have had to move due to financial concerns due to the loss of a jobbecause of an illness or serious medical condition. It is important to keep not only your disability lawyer apprised of your current location and provide a reliable contact address and phone number, but also the Social Security Administration. Failure to inform either entity about changes in address or location can severely compromise your disability claim and lengthen an already long and arduous process.
Even if a determination has been made on your social security disability claim, you still need to keep your address, phone number, and contact information current to continue receiving important notification of reviews and your benefits checks, if so awarded. This is a small, but very important detail to pay attention to.
