What can I do to ensure My Social Security Disability claim is approved?
Many people are denied when making a Social Security claim, but here are tips for a successful application.
Most Social Security Disability claims are denied — usually at the beginning of the application process. One study suggested that about 70% of all SSD claims are denied. In order to ensure that an application is approved, the applicant must follow some important steps.
Know your Social Security Disability claim rights
The first thing to do is to understand as completely as possible what you may be entitled to in an SSD claim. The Social Security Administration has an important document that you can read at their website: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10153.html. Read through the contents carefully so that you understand the law as much as possible.
Stay organized and maintain all records
You will need copies of all your medical records and any other information that could help in establishing your disability. Make sure that you keep all correspondence and documents that you receive from the Social Security Administration smartly filed so that you can easily find them when needed. Always respond promptly to any correspondence that your receive on your case.
Consider getting legal help
Hiring an attorney or paralegal can be very helpful to you in succeeding with your Social Security Disability claim. Since they have necessary experience and expertise in this area, they can help you avoid common mistakes in the application process.
Contact your local representative
If your local Representative or Senator is worth their salt, their staff will be willing to help you with your case especially if you have a legitimate claim.
Don’t give up on your benefits
If your initial application is denied, file an appeal immediately. Let the Social Security Administration know that you are not willing to give up your rights without a fight.
