Hiring A Disability Attorney
A claimant filing for Social Security disability benefits should hire a Social Security disability attorney immediately.
The United States Supreme Court, the highest court in the land, has described the Social Security Act as one of the most complicated pieces of legislation ever drafted by Congress, whose construction makes the Act "almost unintelligible to the uninitiated." Schweicker v. Gray Panthers, 453 U.S. 34, 101 S.Ct. 2633, 69 L.Ed.2d 460,469 (1981)(Justice Powell).
In other words, even those practicing specifically in Social Security may have a hard time understanding all of the components of the Social Security Act. A claimant who is not familiar with the Act will have great difficulty navigating through it and successfully obtaining disability benefits. It is no surprise then that the overwhelming majority of claims are denied disability benefits.
If you or a loved one is trying to obtain Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, it may be a good idea to start looking to hire an attorney focusing his or her practice to disability benefits claims.
