Receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits gives 8.5 million Americans a better quality of life while they cope with serious illnesses and medical infirmities. However, many eligible people apply for these benefits without legal assistance, and the Social Security Administration (SSA) denies their claims. If you are seeking SSDI benefits, here is how a lawyer can improve your chances of application approval.   

3 Ways Attorneys Assist With Social Security Disability Claims

1. Develop Medical Evidence

Having strong medical evidence of a qualifying illness or condition can prove your Social Security disability benefits claim. An experienced attorney gathers the medical records and statements needed, sends you for the appropriate testing, and consults with doctors and specialists to assemble the evidence for an effective case.

2.  Prepare You for the Disability Interview

Generally, before the SSA awards SSDI benefits, applicants must answer questions at a disability interview. Your lawyer will review the questions with you and ensure you have gathered the information to answer them completely and truthfully. Question topics include the dates and end of your employment; type of work you did, can, and cannot do; doctors’ visits; medical treatments and medications; and marital information.   

3. Present Your Case

Experienced Social Security disability lawyers analyze the evidence and develop a theory of each case. Using knowledge of the disability law and hearing procedures, your lawyer will present your circumstances in the best light to prove you are disabled by SSA standards.
