The inability to work can become financially frustrating for anyone, but with the help of an attorney, it might be possible to receive Social Security disability benefits in Phoenix, AZ. Trying to understand all of the rules, regulations, and paperwork that needs to be submitted to receive benefits can lead to an individual being denied for benefits they’re legally entitled to. An attorney will be able to help an individual through this process and dramatically reduce their chance of being denied the money and health insurance they need to survive.
Application Process
To start the process to receive disability benefits, an application must be submitted to the Social Security Administration. A mistake on the application can cause it to be denied even if an individual is unable to work. Failure to submit all of the necessary medical records to review a claim can also result in a denial. A Social Security disability attorney will make sure an individual’s application is completely right the first time.
Denial
Even when an individual has been told by a doctor they are unable to work, this diagnosis may not be enough. When a denial is given, an appeal must be filed in a timely fashion or the applicant will have to start the process all over again. Filing the appeal and being represented in front of an administrative law judge by a lawyer who’s experienced with Social Security disability benefits in Phoenix, AZ will help an individual’s case.
Payment of Legal Fees
An attorney understands that cash can be running low during this difficult time and can offer a free evaluation of the case. This consultation will provide the person with the legal knowledge they need to make the necessary decisions about their case. An individual doesn’t have to suffer financially when help is only a consultation away.
If you are unable to work due to an accident, injury, or illness, contact an experienced disability lawyer as quickly as possible. There is a waiting period before benefits can be received and every day counts.
