A growing number of people have to get Social Security disability benefits before they retire. If you’ve recently found yourself in this situation because of an illness or injury, it’s best to contact an experienced Social Security attorney. Here’s why.
Familiar With Process
Social Security attorneys in Missouri know disability laws and the various conditions that can qualify you for disability benefits. They also spend most of their days in court, arguing cases before judges to help people get disability benefits. This qualifies an experienced Social Security lawyer to help you.
Pay When You Win
With most disability law firms, you won’t pay anything unless you win your case. At that juncture, the law firm would receive 25 percent of your back pay, or $6,000, whichever is lower. These firms will never take a percentage of your monthly disability benefits.
Coordinate Paperwork
With the mounds of paperwork involved in getting disability benefits, it’s not hard to get disqualified for filling a form out incorrectly. That’s where your Social Security lawyer can help you. In fact, when you’re first applying for disability, your attorney or one of his paralegals will help you fill the form out over the phone. The law firm will then send the form to the appropriate Social Security Administration coordinator.
Consultation Services
Most Social Security attorneys in Missouri will also provide consultation to their clients. Your attorney, for example, may suggest that you see your orthopedic doctor to get a more recent diagnosis of your chronic back pain. He may also advise you to have your doctor write a statement to substantiate your medical condition. All of these consultation sessions can better help you win your case.
A Social Security disability attorney will also represent you at the hearing. This gives him or her the opportunity to present your medical records to the judge and improve your chances of getting disability insurance.
