Social Security AttorneysHave you been denied for Social Security and are you wondering if it is time for you to get a Social Security attorney? This is a question that can only be answered by you. If you feel like you need to have help filing an appeal, initiating an application, or if you are going to have difficulty filling out disability forms, you may need to consider obtaining a Social Security disability attorney. Some individuals may need to hire a disability representative at the initial claims level. For some, this will be due to cognitive issues. For instance, if an individual has learning disabilities, mental illness, cannot read or write, or has memory loss. Many individuals, however, would prefer to have their case handled by a representative simply to ensure that the process is handled correctly from the very beginning. You may be thinking "I have not been able to work for a long time and I have no money to pay an attorney". Fortunately, the disability system is setup so that anyone may obtain representation. Social Security disability attorneys are not paid before services are rendered; in fact they are only paid a fee after an approval has been made on ar disability claim. If a case is not won, there is no attorney fee. The standard fee for a Social Security attorney is twenty five percent of any back payment (up to a maximum of $5300.00), plus any additional expenses that are agreed to in the fee agreement that you sign with your attorney (such as for the cost of obtaining medical records). If your have acquired an attorney to represent your disability claim with Social Security, you be wondering what your attorney is going to do for you. Once you hire a Social Security disability attorney, your attorney is responsible for filing disability paperwork for you from the initial claim through the appeals council appeal in a timely manner. Additionally, your attorney will appear before an administrative law judge hearing on your behalf if your disability claim has to be appealed to the hearings level. Remember, a disability attorney will have familiarity with the rules and regulations of the Social Security administration as they apply to both the social security disability and SSI disability programs, and he/she will be to present the facts of your disability case in a manner that is most favorable to you.
