A Compton SSI Attorney is Invaluable When Filing For Disability Benefits

There are several steps in how your disability claim is evaluated. Once you become familiar with the process, you can make better decisions about how to proceed with your disability claim, and the services of a disability lawyer can make all the difference, especially when your claim reaches the hearing level of appeals. Unfortunately, this happens more often than not, as most disability claims are denied at the first two levels. Familiarity with the process can help you know what steps are next and the information required in order to present a strong disability claim.

Or call the Social Security Administration's national toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213.
The first step the Social Security Administration takes in evaluating your disability claim is to assess your income level. If you earn over the Substantial Gainful Activity level as set by the Social Security Administration every year, your disability claim is denied. If still employed and your earnings are less than the threshold amount, your case advances to the next step. There, your Disability Examiner will evaluate your impairment by the medical evidence submitted, and determine if your impairment is severe. If it is not, your claim is denied.
Disability claims that are considered severe are then compared to the listing in the manual of impairments maintained by the Social Security Administration. If there is a match, your Disability Examiner may require you to submit to an examination by a Social Security Administration physician in order to complete a Residual Functional Capacity form, detailing how your medical condition impedes your activity level and ability to earn a living. The form is then sent back to the Disability Examiner, with a recommendation of whether or not you can sustain employment.
