While you are eligible for Social Security Disability benefits in Phoenix, AZ, the process for filing a claim and being approved can be daunting. The most practical thing to do is seek legal help as you begin the process. Here are some of the ways that a lawyer can make a difference.
One has to do with providing full and accurate responses to all the questions asked as part of the application process. All it takes is one partial response to stop consideration of the claim and have it rejected. That means you will have to start the process over. With a lawyer’s help, it less likely this will happen.
Next, there’s the sheer volume of documentation that must be included in the finished application. It can seem overwhelming. With legal counsel on your side, making sure everything is included will be a little easier.
Last, you can depend on your lawyer to be there if your claim for Social Security Disability benefits in Phoenix, AZ, is rejected. Assuming the application is in order, the lawyer can seek a hearing and represent you at that event. There’s a good chance that the hearing will result in receiving the benefits, and possibly making them retroactive to the date of the original application.
Don’t feel lost in the process of seeking the benefits that you deserve. Hire a lawyer early on and you may be able to avoid some of the usual delays and issues. For more information, please contact Slepian Ellexson, PLLC today.
