Obtaining Social Security Disability: How to start the process of

Step 1 You have to believe that you have a disability case valid

We have all heard the horror stories SSA disability ... But too often, I am for the number of people who wonder if they have a valid claim, and whether it is worth their time, surprised to file for disability benefits. In my opinion, over 80% of people whose cases I have reviewed a valid claim. If their request is properly prepared which have a good chance of winning their case ... irrespectiveDiagnosis (n).

What is the profile of the average person I mean?

In general, it is between the ages of 30 and 60 years, worked most of their lives as adults, will confirm the physical and / or psychological illness, treatment and consistent with their regular doctor / psychiatrist, psychologists, symptoms and limitations documented large enough to prevent full-time job, and they believe or have a good reason for the doctor (s) will support their right to believeDisability.

If you say, "he describes me!" I have good news for you ... You can win your claim social security disability, regardless of diagnosis (yes, I refer to FMS / CFS lot!)

Several times a day I am asked: "Can you win a case on the basis of fibromyalgia and / or CFIDS?" The short answer is an emphatic "yes !"... It happens every day. They told me that SSA employees are disabled, and even some lawyers responsible for spreading the conviction thatcan not be won, the case of disability, based on FMS / CFS.

If you are a piece of information you learn in this article, Let It Be: If you approach or match the profile above you have a good chance to win your claim for disability for ... Do not let anyone say otherwise! Successful in your application for disability begins with faith in themselves and in the preparation!

Now that I have your attention ... Ignore the critics and go to step 2.

Step 2 Deposit the application withSSA

You should file the application with SSA, once you meet the following requirements:

(1) has been off work due to disability from the past 12 (twelve) consecutive months (2) or are expected to work for at least twelve consecutive months (if not in the past twelve months after the last work), (3) Your disease should lead to death.

Many people have said that both had to wait five (5) to twelve (12)Months after you stop working before you can file a complaint with SSA ... It is absolutely not true! You can submit an application at any time after that worked as long as you meet the above requirements. Too many people file their claims after years of work no longer ... This is a huge mistake, and usually will benefit costs and, possibly, their request.

To submit an application, call toll free at ASA (exit 800) 772-1213, or by a local SSA office. There is no charge foran application (or a right of withdrawal). What information you must provide SSA? Please visit the http://www.ssa. Gov / disability.html SSA Web site provides a list of information SSA needs. SSA will provide all the information needed to speed up the process and avoid unnecessary bureaucratic delays and famous.

A employees SSA process your application and place a phone or a personal appointment, so your initial application to the local headquarters SSA files. MyProposal is that, if possible, avoid seeing each employee at a local SSA office! Why? If you have a local office staff will visit the notes on your overall appearance, maintenance, and how well you seem to work ... this information in the file is rarely useful.

Step 3 How long before arriving at a decision?

Welcome to Federal bureaucracy ... Should I say more? In fact, the answer depends from state to state. In general, you should expect to wait at leastfour (4) months will be a first choice. If you did not appeal and expect a minimum of four (awaiting 4) months will receive a review of the decision. If your request for review is denied and you have a hearing before an administrative law judge is the claim that you were up to a year to a year and a half before the ALJ decision.

The often absurd amount of time needed to work through the system is the main reason that it should present the complaintmet immediately after they are, or expect to have one of the capacities mentioned above.

Step 4 What if I had submitted an application within the last few refused and did nothing?

Literally every day I was asked this question and I am surprised how often this happens. Unless you expect (and who is ?)... Receiving the rejection letter from SSA is

Deflation horrible and depressing. Many people give up and never again, provided they do not beat the SSAhis own game. The last act is to be heard for the nearest room is never something that retreat! Nationally, 50% of the requests that are initially denied, have never fallen ... I believe that SSA is set to finish 'actor. When I described the situation I have some good news. Do not give up ... angry!

Imagine if this ... If you were forced to pay social security or self-employment taxes to Uncle Sam, in return, SSA made an agreement with you that would be a part of the feesDisability insurance, if ever ... work, not a right to beg the government ... Women looking for performance, you should have the right to ... Benefits that you paid!

If you are covered for disability insurance benefits (SSDI) (see are the most frequently asked questions about the information), federal law may open the first application within one year from the date of first refusal for any reason once again. It is also possible to reopen before an application within four (4)Year of initial rejection, if SSA is a good thing to do.

Even if you can not have a right of precedence, you should still be able to open a new application for SSDI file if you have worked for five (5) years or less, because the last time full.

Step 5 I have to consult a lawyer or maintain disability?

In my opinion, you should consult a lawyer with Disabilities as soon as possible after the complaint. Almost all provide free advice. Be careful though, becausevery common for lawyers to advise a person was only after their request for a contact or denied twice. Since almost every disability lawyer is paid a fee only if you win your case, they want your case to their office as soon as possible ... Can not be in your interest.

Following this advice can also endanger your request. Why? My experience is that the SSA is usually a process against you is presented on the date of your claim. Too often, theSSA will be developed and used evidence from him or a judge to deny your request. In many cases, the development of this test can be avoided or reduced if an attorney is involved from the start of disability in your case.

What happens when a lawyer is not the case from the beginning? I would keep trying until you find one. To determine if you have a disability lawyer can be found in my article can afford, entitled "Strategy for your demand for social security disability: 15Mistakes are made, are not guaranteed. "
