Filing for disability benefits from Social Security is a daunting task. The Social Security Administration rarely approves first time applicants unless there are extreme and extenuating circumstances. If you have applied for benefits and were denied, or you are applying for the first time, you need to consult with a disability lawyer in Charlotte.
Why You Need a Lawyer
Applying for benefits on your own means you might not have enough evidence to support your claim to benefits. It’s why you will be denied (or have been denied). A disability lawyer in Charlotte can help you collect all the evidence you need for your claim. When you have legal counsel in your corner, you have a better chance of getting your benefits claim approved.
Bring What You Have to the Lawyer’s Office
Bring what you have in terms of your medical records to the lawyer’s office. This gives the lawyer something to start with and lets the lawyer see what is lacking in your case. The lawyer will know right away what is missing and why your case was denied. If you have already applied and were denied, bring your denial letter to the meeting.
If you are legally blind, or have a severe medical condition such as cancer, these are conditions that SSA is supposed to automatically approve for benefits. If you have one of these conditions and were denied, a lawyer can help you reverse this on appeal. Contact Collins Price via their website, for a consult.
