Disabled Americans have no or only limited capacity to work and are particularly vulnerable to economic hardship.Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) provide critical financial lifelines to ensure individuals with severe disabilities and health conditions live independently. A Houston Disability Attorney understands how these two distinct programs of the Social Security Administration (SSA) work.
Specialized Disability Attorneys Have The Experience And Expertise To Navigate the System
Attorneys who specialize in disability law are familiar with the workings of state-run Disability Determination Services (DDS) in Texas that take a first look at disability applications and review them to ensure they meet the Social Security Administration’s (SSA’s) requirements.
Specialization is an excellent indicator of an attorney’s commitment to their profession and their clients. Specialized attorneys maintain good working relationships with the DDS staff who will review your claim initially before sending it to higher levels in the SSA for approval or denial. Specialized disability attorneys know the type of information and documentation the DDS is looking for while deciding on a disability claim initially.
The Social Security disability application process involves immense paperwork, stringent standards, and deadlines. A specialized disability attorney gathers information detailing your medical condition, education, employment history, limits, and capabilities to qualify for disability benefits.
Specialized attorneys know how to locate and gather essential medical records and other supporting materials to strengthen your disability claim’s chances of success. If the SSA denies your initial application, a specialized Social Security disability lawyer can help you navigate the appeals process.
Your attorney will guide you through the appeals process, which involves submitting additional information and documentation to prove your case.Having a specialized lawyer on your side can increase your prospects of success at a hearing before an administrative law judge.
