Let A Detroit Disability Lawyer Help You Win Disability Benefits

When filing a social security disability claim and embarking on this long and arduous process, it may seem like a mystery how the Social Security Administration makes their determination. The basic thing to remember is the Social Security Administration is less concerned with your actual medical condition as they are with how this affects your ability to work. What this boils down to is it is not the actual impairment that gets an approval from the SSA for disability benefits, but how it impacts your ability to earn a living.

Or call the Social Security Administration’s national toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213.
Not only is your medical information important, but the medical evidence has to support the claim for disability benefits based on your ability to perform past job duties, as well as your ability to perform what the Social Security Administration deems “other work”. The older you are, the better your odds that you will not have transferable job skills, as the Social Security Administration acknowledges older claimants have a more difficult time adjusting to other jobs and may not have the skill set necessary. Education and experience factor in to this decision.
In order to win disability benefits, it is imperative that the medical evidence substantiates the assertion that you are unable to perform the jobs you have held in the past fifteen years due to a physical or mental impairment, or combination thereof. Especially once your disability claim reaches the hearing level in front of an Administrative Law Judge, you will need the expert services of a disability attorney to present a strong and compelling case. Disability lawyers will write briefs, contact treating medical providers for Residual Functional Capacity forms, and correlate the medical evidence in order to show how your disability has impacted your ability to earn a living.
Detroit Disability Benefits
Hundreds, if not thousands, of Detroit residents have lost a job and medical benefits due to a disabling condition or illness. Financial stresses may be at maximum, and a winning disability claim may be all that is standing between a family and financial ruin. Therefore, it is in your best interest when filing for disability benefits to make sure your medical records are current and complete. Your disability attorney can see that your treating doctor gets a Residual Functional Capacity form which can make a big difference between a winning and losing disability claim.
Ongoing medical treatment is imperative to a winning disability claim, because without current medical records the Social Security Administration may consider your disability claim as not severe if you are not pursuing treatment. Unfortunately, economic concerns do not factor into their decision.
