WHAT A DISABILITY ADVOCATE MAY DO FOR YOUR DISABILITY CLAIM: Huntsville, Decatur, Athens

If you have tried dealing directly with Social Security, you have discovered how frustratingly difficult it can be.  Especially if you are applying for Social Security disability.

Social Security will deny over two-thirds of all disability applications because they will determine that the claimant is not "totally disabled."  In other words, they will claim that, "While you may not be able to perform your recent work, there are still other jobs in the national economy that you are able to perform."

In simple terms, you may not be able to continue working as a concrete finisher (for example) but you could be a silverware wrapper, a small product packager, or a snake charmer.  That's all it takes to deny your claim.

A disability advocate is trained to help a claimant "line up" with the legal requirements for disability benefits.  He or she is a Social Security disability expert. 

An attorney/advocate may help you gather additional medical evidence to support your claim.  He or she may obtain statements or forms from doctors to support your claim.  Your advocate will file all appeals motions and prepare your case for an administrative law judge.  The advocate will usually file a written brief, explaining to the judge why the claim should be paid according to the law.  If you need a hearing, your advocate will appear with you to represent your interests.

How Is An Advocate Paid?  "I can't afford to hire a lawyer."

Advocates work for free until you win and get paid.  You pay no money up front.  When Social Security finally approves your case, a small percentage of your back pay award will be deducted and used to pay the advocate's agreed upon fee.  This fee will be an amount that you have already agreed upon in writing (at the time you appointed the advocate/attorney to represent you).  If you do not win, or if you do not collect any back pay, you will never owe any fee or expense.

DISABILITY HEARINGS: NOT WHAT THEY SEEM TO BE

"Don't be one of the claimants who is really disabled but loses because he can't meet the burden proof." When you are denied disability benefits and file and appeal, you are scheduled to go before an administrative law judge for a hearing.  These hearings are quit different from what most people think they are.  Hearings are technical and legal proceedings where you, the claimant, has a burden of proof.  If you fail to meet your burden of proof you will not get your disability benefits. Here are some components of a Social Security disability hearing that you must understand and deal with in order to meet your burden of proof--and win your benefits.  Failure to do so will result in another denial-- and gone is your best chance to get paid. 1.  Establishing when you stopped working at "substantial gainful activity" or SGA.  This is vital to the date your back pay will begin. 2.  Proving that you have a severe medically determinable impairme...
