As discussed in part 1, there are multiple methods of strengthening your Social Security Disability claim. The following Social Security Disability tips will help you prepare and pursue your claim.
If you have a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, it is essential to thoroughly review your entire file with your Attorney. These files can be over 1000 pages long, and many pages are procedural, but it is possible for there to be hundreds or thousands of pages of medical records. It is very important to pay close attention to every detail; being thoroughly prepared can help you pursue your claim. Also, you should review your work history with your Attorney.
It is extremely important to tell your Attorney all the times that you worked or attempted to work in the last 15 years. This is important because it might not show up on the Earnings Inquiry by SSA, or it could show up and be incorrect. This detail could determine if you win or lose the case – depending on a specific job or specific job description you may have had.
Be careful about internet rumors or sites without valid sources. For any questions, call or speak to your local Social Security Disability lawyer.
