Keep reading to learn more about this type of legal professional.

They Understand the Social Security Process

A Social Security attorney is a legal professional with a deep understanding of the Social Security process in the United States. They also have a thorough understanding of the Social Security Administration as a whole and what steps need to be taken in order to get approval. If you find the Social Security application process difficult to navigate, a lawyer can help.

They Review Your Case

The first thing the lawyer will do is review your case to help advise you on your approval odds. They will check all your information including the diagnosis you may have. They can also review your financial situation. All of this information can help to give them an idea of whether you would qualify for this type of benefit. If you have applied for benefits and have been denied, they can also look at the details of the denial and help you determine if you need to appeal. They can assist you with the appeal as well.

They Create a Theory for Your Case

Social Security approval is often based on a theory of approval. There are three types of theories: your condition meets Social Security requirements, you're unable to perform any type of work, or your condition prevents you from doing sedentary work. Each of these theories would need adequate documentation to prove your case to the Social Security Administration. Your lawyer would be able to help you collect this documentation and present it in the proper way to increase your chances of approval.
