Important keys to obtaining Social Security disability benefits

The application process for Social Security disability benefits can be frustrating because most claims are denied at the initial application level. The most important thing is to not give up, and to keep pursuing your claim.

Here are five important keys to eventually obtaining Social Security disability benefits:

1. The Social Security Administration must have all of your medical records.
The Social Security Administration will say that it will gather all of your medical records. However, it does not always do a complete job. One of the things that we will do for you is review the records and be sure that everything that you need is presented to the Social Security Administration.

2. Your doctors’ reports need to provide the necessary information.
Sometimes the Social Security Administration wants specific information, and your doctor may not know what is needed. We will work with your doctors to be sure that their reports answer all of the questions that the Social Security Administration will ask.

3. You need to provide thorough and accurate testimony.
It can be difficult sometimes to remember all that you have gone through, and to explain it accurately at a hearing. One way that helps to keep track of the details is to keep a symptoms diary where you record your condition from day to day.

4. You need to tell the truth.
Your credibility is critical at a Social Security hearing. There are two risks in describing your condition and your problems. One is to understate your problems because you do not want to admit the full extent of your disability; the other is to exaggerate your problems out of fear you will not be taken seriously. We will prepare you so your can honestly and candidly testify regarding your limitations.

5. You need to be patient.
Dealing with the Social Security disability system can be very frustrating and slow. However, you will have an opportunity to present you claim at a hearing before a judge. Do not give up.
