Do I Need A Social Security Disability Lawyer For My Initial Application?

Why not apply for disability benefits on your own and then call a disability attorney later if you’re denied? Because that can lead to unneeded stress for you and delay your approval.

Many advantages come from working with a lawyer from the start. They include:

    Easing Your Stress: Your disability attorney can handle forms, evidence and details, so you can worry less about your disability application and focus more on your own health and well-being.

    Improve Your Chances of Success: A lawyer who deals with this process all the time can help you avoid mistakes and get your application right the first time. Government statistics have suggested that having a lawyer can greatly increase your chances of being awarded SSDI benefits.

    Be Prepared for Whatever Comes Next: If you’re denied, you’ll have an experienced professional who is familiar with your claim and is ready to help you appeal the decision.

Facing a health and financial crisis is a highly personal situation. But the Social Security Disability system can seem highly impersonal.

Your lawyer is like a guide through a difficult process.

And it’s important to know: You only pay a lawyer fee out of your back benefits when you win your benefits. There are never up-front costs and you never pay out-of-pocket.
