Applying for social security disability can be overwhelming. There are deadlines to follow, evidence to gather, and the possibility of a claim denial, among other complications specific to your case. Below are a few reasons to work with a social security disability representative from the start of your case to streamline the process.

How Social Security Disability Representation Helps

1. Paperwork & Claim Help

A representative will help fill out your claim paperwork, which may contain words or phrases that are unfamiliar to you. The representative will also review the paperwork for errors and follow up with the Social Security Administration (SSA). This ensures your claim is under evaluation and is processing as quickly as possible.

2. Medical Evidence Assistance

Your social security disability representative also helps you gather medical evidence to win your claim. This individual has the knowledge and experience to know what your case will require, such as co-worker statements detailing your work problems due to the disability, evidence of disability-related issues, medical records, and anything else that pertains to your case that you may not consider.

3. Social Security Administration Go-Between

When you work with a representative, you can tell the SSA to contact that individual instead of talking to you. If the SSA requests a meeting with you, the organization must get the representative's permission first. The agent will coach you before the SSA meeting, so you know what you should and shouldn't say. This is beneficial if you have an appeal hearing, as you can practice answers to potential questions from the judge.
