Social Security Disability Lawyer in Lowell, Massachusetts

Let a Lowell Disability Attorney Help You Receive Disability Benefits

The sheer scope of the information regarding the social security disability claims process makes it difficult, if not impossible, for a claimant to attend a hearing on their own. By contrast, a disability lawyer is very familiar with the process and how the framework of the SSA operates, and can present a strong and compelling case in order to convince the Administrative Law Judge that the medical evidence proves you to be disables and qualified for disability benefits.

Attending a social security disability claim appeal on your own or with an unqualified representative, such as a friend or neighbor, is not a good idea. An expert disability attorney is familiar with terms such as residual function capacity, the social security definition of “disability”, what constitutes admissible medical evidence and what does not, as well as how past work affects your claim and the medical vocational rules grid. A layman is not experienced nor educated on these issues, even if they have been through the social security disability claim process before and assures you they know the system.
Additionally, a trained disability advocate is very familiar with the type of medical evidence required in order to prove your case to the Administrative Law Judge. It is not enough to have records or test results in many cases; a detailed statement from your treating physician that describes exactly what your limitations are and how they affect your ability to return to work that you have done in the past can be extremely helpful to your disability claim. These statements can be difficult to obtain, especially by the claimant, but your disability lawyer has interacted with many medical professionals and is experienced in the protocol involved in obtaining this medical evidence.

If all of this weren’t enough, your disability attorney will also keep track of important deadlines and notices, and correlate and organize your medical records in such a way as to present the strongest case possible in front of the Administrative Law Judge. Since most people wait in excess of two years for a hearing on their disability claim, it is foolish to squander that opportunity by appearing without representation. Your disability lawyer has an expert grasp of how your medical condition affects your work status, and that is exactly the kind of information the Administrative Law Judge needs to know in order to make a fair ruling on your case.
If you are thinking by taking a neighbor or friend to an appeals hearing will save you money, this is incorrect. It could possibly cost you an approval of a disability claim you have waited months, even years, to settle.
