PITTSBURGH, PA, October 08, 2012
Many applications for Social Security Disability are denied the first time, even if the claim is worthy. An experienced Social Security Disability lawyer can help disabled Pennsylvanians prepare the best claim for benefits the first time around, avoiding common mistakes, and can help disabled workers who've been turned down with appeals.It is important not to give up after being rejected during the initial phase of applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. Applications for benefits are commonly rejected during this first phase. If you are unable to work because of your disability, it is important to continue to pursue disability benefits. Even if it seems easier to give up, it is best to appeal your claim. In the Social Security Disability appeals process, it is not required that you be represented, but those who are represented have a much higher success rate.
It is common for people to miss a deadline in the process or to continue to reapply at the initial application level, rather than going through the appeals process, which offers the opportunity to provide additional information.
SSDI applicants also make the common mistake of not providing updates to the Pennsylvania Disability Determination Services office. Another mistake is to fail to provide enough information about your condition to the Social Security Administration. People may often underestimate the severity of their disability or the impact it has had on their lives, but it is important to provide the most detailed information possible on your disability to get the benefits you need. An experienced Social Security Disability attorney can help ensure that SSDI claimants put their strongest case forward.
