There are several benefits to hiring an SSI/SSDI attorney to handle your application, including:
- Increase your chances of approval: An experienced SSI/SSDI attorney understands the complex rules and regulations involved in the application process and can help ensure that your application is completed accurately and completely.
- Provide guidance and support: An attorney can provide guidance and support throughout the application process, answering any questions you may have and helping you understand your options.
- Navigate the appeals process: If your claim is denied, an attorney can help you navigate the appeals process, including requesting a reconsideration, requesting a hearing before an ALJ, and filing an appeal with the Appeals Council or federal court, if necessary.
- Understand complex legal issues: SSI/SSDI attorneys are trained to understand complex legal issues related to Social Security disability law, including income calculations, work history issues, and other factors that can affect your eligibility for benefits.
- No upfront fees: SSI/SSDI attorneys typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you are awarded benefits.
