Although you are not required to consult an attorney when applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, claimants with legal representation are more likely to qualify than those applying on their own. A lawyer can ensure your medical report and work history are satisfactory and you are prepared to answer the questions an administrative law judge (ALJ) may ask.
If your application has already been denied, an attorney can also help you through the appeals process, skillfully advocating for you through each level. Our knowledgeable SSDI attorneys can assist with any stage of the SSDI qualification process, so contact the Sasser Law Firm to learn more about the benefits of hiring an SSDI lawyer in Charlotte.
Besides your work history, medical evidence is the most important element of your claim, demonstrating your inability to work due to physical or cognitive conditions. With your permission, our attorneys can gather and review your medical records from appropriate physicians to determine whether additional testing or follow-up exams may be necessary. For example, if you did not consult a doctor who treats people with your condition, we may request that you do so.
We will also determine who among your doctors may be willing to write a medical source statement to support your disability claim. We can ensure this physical or cognitive capacity assessment comports with the medical evidence and other information submitted with your claim. Hiring an attorney from our Charlotte law firm can provide an advantage in affirming that your SSDI application’s medical documentation is complete.
Working with our Charlotte-based SSDI attorneys can ensure you are prepared to answer all the judge’s queries about your eligibility for benefits. These questions may focus on:
Providing clear and accurate answeres is pivotal to the outcome of your claim.
You have 60 days to appeal an initial SSDI claim denial, first to an examiner who was not involved in the initial decision and then to an ALJ before whom our attorneys can argue your claim’s validity. If your appeals result in a denial, we can file a federal lawsuit in district court before the National Appeals Council.
Our Charlotte attorneys understand what will be required of you during every phase of your SSDI application process, offering essential guidance to strengthen your claim.
