Those who apply are often made to feel like they are asking for something that they do not deserve, and nothing could be further from the truth. Therefore if you are unable to work, but you have been denied benefits, you should appeal. You have the right to have an Attorney represent you in your Social Security Disability case. Statistics have shown that claimants represented by Attorneys have been much more successful than people without representation. You should seriously consider the advantages of having an Attorny represent you by examining what an Attorney would do in your Social Security Disability case.
Every case is different.
Your Attorney's role depends on the particular facts of your case. Such expenses usually involve charges for photocopying and payments to doctors and hospitals for medical records and reports, and other miscellaneous charges. As soon as possible, preferably as soon as your inital application is denied. An Attorney will then be able to start assisting you in determining if you are disabled, as that term is defined by the Social Security Act. Attorneys in Social Security Disability cases do much more than sit in at a hearing and ask a few questions.
