How Social Security Disability Lawyer Handle Cases

By Iva Cannon


A socially disabled person according to law, is a person who is unable to engage in any gainful activity because of their medical impairments either physically or mentally which has manifested for a period of one year and can lead to death, it is recommended for any disabled person who wants to be covered by the disability benefit to seek the assistance of social security disability lawyer. The persons applying for the disability benefit should have patience as the process can take a few months.

The procedure commences with the disabled person contacting an attorney, to understand the basic facts of the case, the attorney conducts an interview either through a phone call or at the request of a client, they can meet. The interview aids the lawyer to take or drop the case based on the weight of the facts gathered.

Assuming the lawyer decides to proceed with the case, both parties should sign a agreement giving the lawyer exclusive rights of access of his client medical records, most likely the social security authority may ask the disabled person to undergo some medical test, so the attorneys role is to examine the medical documents of a client and make recommendations as to whether a client should undergo more medical testing or not.

He also chooses the doctors to work with during the case, the medical documents to present to the deciding judge who will be taking the case. The lawyer should be aware of the different benefits that are available.

The insurance benefit claimed by those who have worked long enough to reach at least 20credits, to reach these credit level one should earn more income to exceed the current credit limit, also there is the supplemental income benefits claimed by people who have not worked long enough to earn more income to exceed the prevailing credit limits.

Finally when the hearing dates approaches, a lawyer should enlighten particular client on how to tackle the frequently asked questions, these questions can be, when were you diagnosed with the symptoms, do you have an health insurance policy and do you have friends.

The client is allowed by the administrative to have a witness, but the witness should first be interrogated by the lawyer to ensure that his testimony is relevant to the case, then the attorney reviews the client denial letter from the agency to understand why it rejected your claim to resolve issues in a client favor.

Also the lawyer generates a theory explaining why clients are disabled under the disability law, with reference to the city Durham North Carolina, they have put in place disability laws, personal injury policies and traffic laws to protect the citizens.
