Maximize Your Chances of Winning Your Social Security Disability Claim

October 5, 2023 //  by Ortiz Law Firm//  Leave a Comment

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a federal program that pays benefits to people who cannot work due to a disability. If you have a disability and are unable to work, you may be eligible for SSDI benefits. However, getting approved for SSDI can be a long and complicated process. Here are some things that you can do to maximize your chances of winning your Social Security Disability claim.

Get Medical Treatment

The most important factor in winning your Social Security Disability claim is your medical evidence. The Social Security Administration (SSA) will consider your medical records to determine whether you have a qualifying disability.

It’s essential to get regular medical treatment and to document all your symptoms and limitations. Make sure you follow up with your doctors and follow their recommended treatment plans. If you don’t have medical insurance, there may be free or low-cost options available throughout your state or county.

Be Honest and Accurate

It’s crucial to be honest and accurate when filling out your Social Security Disability application. Do not overstate your symptoms, but do not downplay them either. Make sure you provide all the necessary information and answer all of the questions truthfully. If you’re caught lying or misstating your condition, it could damage your credibility and hurt your chances of winning disability benefits.

Work with a Disability Attorney

Working with an experienced Social Security Disability attorney can increase your chances of winning your claim. A disability lawyer has experience with the Social Security Administration and understands the application process. They can help you navigate the system, gather evidence, and present your case in the best possible light. Most disability attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case.

Understand the Listing of Impairments

The Listing of Impairments is a list of medical conditions that are considered disabling by the Social Security Administration. If you have a condition that is on the list, you may automatically qualify for Social Security Disability benefits. Understanding the Listing of Impairments can help you present your case in the best possible light.

Stay Organized

Keeping track of your medical records and other documents can be challenging, but it’s essential to improve your chances of approval. Staying organized can help you present a strong case and avoid any delays or confusion.

Make sure you keep copies of all your medical records, lab results, and imaging studies. Keep a journal of your symptoms and limitations. Make a list of all your doctors, medications, and treatments, and update the list as your treatment plan changes.

In conclusion, winning a Social Security Disability claim can be a long and complicated process. By following these tips, you can maximize your chances of success. Remember to focus on getting regular medical treatment, being honest and accurate, and staying organized. Understanding the Listing of Impairments and working with a disability attorney can also increase your chances.

With patience and perseverance, you can win the benefits you need and deserve. If you are ready to get the benefits you are entitled to, let us guide you through the process. Call us now at (888) 321-8131 to schedule a free case evaluation.
