The denial of a Social Security disability claim marks a change of direction for the claim. It does not mark the end, just a new beginning.
First, you are leaving the state arena and entering the federal arena. Say goodbye to the Disability Determination Service, a state agency. Say hello to the office of Disability Appeals and Adjudication, a strictly federal agency.
Say goodbye to impersonal, mechanical reviews. Say hello to personal attention. Now, a US Administrative Law Judge will sit down with you personally and discover the facts in your case. This process is called a hearing. He or she will listen to your in-person discussion of your medical issues. The judge will render a totally new decision.
Say goodbye to do-it-yourself advocacy. You may have filed the application by yourself. Now, it's time for representation. You want a professional advocate with the skill, experience and time to prepare a vigorous appeal and represent you at the hearing.
Can You Afford Top Notch Legal Representation?
Yes, you can. No money is required upfront. A fee is generated only when you win your case and the government pays you a past due benefit. Your attorney's fee will be a small percentage of the past due benefit. Social Security will withhold the fee, which you have already agreed to under contract with your representative. The government will pay the representative directly.
This arrangement is called a "contingency fee agreement." You agree to pay a small percentage of your back pay, only if you win. If you don't win, or if you do not collect back pay, no fee is due to your representative.
Most representatives, including the Forsythe Firm, will provide you with a free consultation. At this meeting, the strengths and weaknesses of your case will be evaluated. You will be advised of the best way to continue. An advocate will be assigned to your case who will file the appeal, prepare for the hearing, and represent you before the administrative law judge.
"Don't think of a denial as the end of your claim. Think of it as a new direction, offering even greater opportunities for success!"
