The process of applying for Social Security Disability benefits and appealing denied claims is complicated and the chances of success are far greater with the help of an experienced Social Security disability attorney. Retaining an experienced attorney can increase your chances of obtaining your disability benefits and help avoid denials based on technicalities or other common errors. Most individuals who apply to the Social Security Administration for Social Security Disability and/or Supplemental Security Income benefits are initially denied. Many qualified claimants are denied because they do not know how to get their disability claim approved and do not seek guidance from qualified Social Security disability attorneys or advocates. In fact, in year 2015, the Social Security Administration adjudicated over 1.4 million initial filings and only 32% of claimants were found disabled. To make matters worse, most claimants have to appear before an administrative law judge at the hearing stage and while a higher percentage of claimants are awarded benefits, award rates by administrative law judges remain low at about 48% nationally and the average wait time for a hearing is 24 months! Also, waiting to file may cause you to lose benefits and in some instances if you wait too long you won't be able to file at all, so don’t wait! Even if you start the process without an attorney, you can hire one at any stage of the proceedings.
