Starting The Application Process Out Strong
Applying for disability benefits can seem overwhelming. The general steps include:
- Gathering necessary evidence of your disability
- Completing the application paperwork
- Submitting your application
- If necessary, appealing a denial of benefits
Our disability lawyers will guide you through every step of the process. They start by understanding your unique situation and developing a personalized plan. Then, they assist in gathering necessary documentation, completing forms and ensuring that your application meets all requirements and clearly presents your disabling condition and inability to work. Their goal is to make the application process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
After A Denial, Don’t Give Up – Appeal
If your disability application is denied, don’t lose hope. Denials are common, and the appeals process is your opportunity to strengthen your claim.

Appealing a denied application can be complex. It is wise to have an attorney by your side to navigate the legal intricacies and present a compelling case.

You can be confident going into your hearing knowing you are working with an experienced advocate who knows the law, knows your individual case and knows how to present your claim.
