The Berman Law Group attorneys can help ensure you properly meet all disability qualification requirements, including cases involving Social Security disability for children.
Most applicants don't sail through the initial SSDI review process, and many claims are denied even when based on disabling conditions listed in the SSA's official Listing of Impairments (the Blue Book). Although Social Security Disability is a federal program, the initial review is handled at the state level through Disability Determination Services offices — and each state's approval rate varies significantly. Several factors can lead to a denial, including incomplete documentation, missed deadlines, or conditions that don't meet the technical criteria as submitted.
If your benefits have been denied, you still have the right to appeal. You also have the right to dispute the amount of disability benefits you've been approved for if you believe it is incorrect. Acting quickly is important — there are strict deadlines for each stage of the appeal process.
A Social Security appeal attorney at The Berman Law Group is experienced in reviewing the causes for denial and knowledgeable about the Compassionate Allowances program — which helps reduce disability determination waiting times for persons suffering from pressing conditions such as cancer, brain disorders, and other specified disabilities.
Your Social Security disability lawyer will file the appeal with the Office of Hearings Operations (OHO). Prior to the appeal hearing, your attorney and the SSA's disability staff will both collect evidence before an administrative law judge reviews your case and determines your eligibility for benefits. Contact The Berman Law Group to schedule a consultation. Related practice areas include elder law and special needs trusts.
