Delaying. If you wait too long to file for benefits, you may miss out on the benefits you could’ve been receiving. If you miss deadlines when you’re appealing, you risk getting denied.
2. Sloppy Application Forms. Errors or incomplete information on your application could lead to a denial later on.
3. Lacking Medical Evidence. Get regular medical attention and write down every doctor visit, all expenses related to your health problems, and everyday limitations you experience because of your health. Medical records are crucial to your claim, so you need to be able to show a strong history of doctor visits.
4. Failing to Appeal. If you’re denied, and you miss the deadline to appeal, you also miss a possibly better opportunity to win benefits. Most people are denied when they first apply. It’s often during appeals when people finally are awarded the benefits they need.
5. Not Working with a Lawyer: The Social Security Disability system is complicated and difficult. It involves thousands of rules. Having an experienced disability lawyer can make the process easier on you and improve your chances of winning benefits.
When you need help applying for Social Security Disability benefits, or appealing a denial of benefits, the disability lawyers at the Schneider Law Firm are friendly to you, but forceful about your claim.
