Why Hire a Lawyer to Obtain Social Security Disability
For a person to be considered disabled and to receive Social Security disability benefits, they must meet some basic requirements. First, you must have a medical condition that prevents you from performing or maintaining employment. Likewise, this medical condition must be diagnosed and confirmed by a doctor. The application and case development process can be arduous and you need the help of Social Security lawyers for the approval of your case.
A Social Security lawyer knows the entire procedure that must be carried out to obtain your disability benefits. In Fuentes & Fuentes you can find these professionals with the necessary experience to avoid a denied case.
What does a Social Security disability lawyer do?
The Social Security Administration provides disability benefits. They are paid to those people who have worked long enough and who have also paid Social Security taxes. However, people who cannot work due to a medical condition they have been suffering from for a year or more qualify for this type of benefits.
To qualify for Social Security disability benefits, it is important to meet these basic requirements. Social Security will confirm if you have worked and accumulated enough credits to qualify. Additionally, you must fill out a disability application and submit all the necessary documentation to be approved.
Obtaining Social Security disability benefits can be difficult in most cases. In this case, the most pertinent option is to hire the services of Social Security disability attorneys. Why? Because they can take care of all the paperwork to make your process easy. Social Security attorneys will fight for your rights to obtain and enjoy disability benefits. To do this, they will submit the application and appeal the decision if Social Security denies it. Additionally, once the decision is appealed, the Social Security Administration will likely want to determine your disability status before an administrative law judge or the Appeals Council. Only an experienced attorney will win your case.
Qualities of a Social Security Disability Lawyer
A Social Security lawyer must meet a series of characteristics to handle your case and for it to be successfully approved:
Empathy
Empathy in a disability attorney is more important than you can imagine. That is why, when looking for a lawyer specialized in this area, you should make sure that he or she is truly empathetic. That is, they identify with your situation and can put themselves in your place. However, apart from being a professional, they must care about yourself as a client and handle your case accordingly.
Honesty
Social Security disability lawyers must be 100% honest with you. Consequently, if it is a case that cannot be won or you have to wait a little longer, it is preferable that the lawyer communicates this to you and gives other recommendations for the approval of your benefits.
Experience
It is important to mention that the laws related to disability benefits are governed by many regulations, rules and complications. Truth be told, it won't be easy for you to understand each of these factors, which is why you should secure the services of a Social Security disability benefits specialist. The lawyer you choose must have years of studies, and above all, experience in everything related to the Social Security Administration. Also, they must understand how courts and appeals work in order to win a case efficiently.
