SSA’s Total Dysfunction

We are constantly asked why a case is denied, when it is so obvious that a claimant is disabled, which as defined by the Social Security Administration (“SSA”) means you are unable to perform any job on a full-time basis.

A perfect example is a case where a claimant fell down an elevator shaft, and sustained numerous severe, life changing, injuries. He was denied at the initial application, and at the reconsideration stage, and twice by the same ALJ, and twice by the Appeals Council, and his case was remanded three times by the Federal Courts, before it was finally approved 12 years after his accident.

There is nothing that can excuse our government’s laziness, ignorance, or total disinterest in fixing the countless problems with the SSA, so that eligible workers do not have to have their lives ruined, while going through the process of applying for Social Security Disability benefits.

While an attorney cannot fix the problems with the SSA, retaining an attorney who specializes in SSD and disability law greatly improves your chances of being approved, and approved more quickly. We have been handling disability claims with the SSA since the last Century, and know the system like the back of our hands. We know what to focus on, and what is needed to obtain an approval. We offer a free phone consultation during which we explain the entire process of filing for SSD benefits, and guide you with the type of support that is required from your doctors in order to have a successful claim.
