Applying for Disability Benefits? Let Our Firm Handle the Heavy Lifting!

We can help prepare your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) application, and improve your chances of approval. Since Social Security processes more than 10 million disability applications each year, it is easy for a claim to get overlooked. Our experienced firm can handle the details and put our years of disability-claim experience in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Florida, and North Carolina to work for you.

SSDI Application Process

The initial SSDI application itself can feel overwhelming, especially for people dealing with physical or mental health conditions. The application asks for information about medical providers, hospitalizations, medications, work history, and other personal details. How this information is presented can affect whether your claim is approved, which is why it is important to work with an experienced Social Security Disability lawyer from the start.

SSDI Appeal Process

Many initial SSDI claims are denied for a variety of reasons. In most cases, a denial can and should be appealed.

The SSDI appeals process generally includes two phases: reconsideration and a hearing.
The reconsideration phase is a second review of your claim after an initial denial, giving Social Security another opportunity to determine whether information was missed or new evidence changes the outcome. At the hearing stage, you and your attorney appear before a federal Administrative Law Judge to present your case. You may submit additional evidence, testimony, written statements and legal arguments explaining why your claim should be approved. An experienced disability attorney, like those at RQP Law, can make a meaningful difference.

Social Security Disability
Application Process

The initial Social Security Disability Application itself can be a daunting task for many people, especially those who are hampered by physical or mental health conditions.  The application includes information about medical providers, hospitalizations, medications, work history, and other personal information.  The way this information is presented can increase or decrease your likelihood of being approved for benefits. This is why it is important to engage with an experienced Social Security Disability lawyer from the very beginning of your Social Security Disability case.

Social Security Appeal Process

A majority of initial claims for Social Security Disability are denied by the agency for several reasons. Almost any reason for denial can be appealed, and in most instances should, be appealed.

The Social Security Disability appeals process is broken into two phases, the reconsideration phase and the hearing phase.  A reconsideration phase is basically a second look at your claim after your initial claim is denied to ensure that the first person who denied your claim did not miss something or to see if new evidence changes the outcome.  The hearing phase allows you and your attorney to go before a Federal Administrative Law Judge and present your case in court, you can provide additional evidence, testimony, written statements and arguments from your attorney on why your case should be approved.  Having an experienced disability attorney, like the ones at RQP Law can make all the difference.
