Top 5 Reasons to Work With a Social Security Disability Lawyer

The Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program provides essential benefits to those who are unable to work because of a disability, but the application process can often be challenging. Complex eligibility requirements and confusing paperwork can overwhelm applicants and lead to denied claims. The Social Security disability lawyers at Aronova & Associates invite New Yorkers to contact us to have their SSDI questions answered. Working with a legal representative on your disability claim has a number of advantages, from making sure your documentation is complete, to ensuring that you receive all the benefits you are entitled to.

Here are 5 reasons to consider partnering with a skilled and experienced SSDI lawyer from our firm.

1. You will improve your chance of approval at the initial application level.

More than 60% of all applications for Social Security disability benefits are denied at the initial application level. One of the most common reasons for denial is that an application has missing or incomplete information. An SSDI lawyer will verify that your application has all of the information that the Administration needs to make the right decision.

2. Anticipate the 5-step process that the Administration uses to determine disability.

That process includes:

  1. Determining your financial eligibility for benefits
  2. Identifying whether your impairment is severe
  3. Identifying if you have a highly disabling or fatal impairment
  4. Examining if your disability precludes you from performing job tasks that you had previously performed
  5. Examining if your disability precludes you from performing any new job tasks that could be assigned to you

Your application can be denied at any one step of this 5-step process. An experienced lawyer at Aronova & Associates will draft your application to reduce chances of denial.

3. Get an earlier disability start date.

The onset date of your disability is based on the circumstances of your injury, your work history, your medical records, and other evidence. We can help you get the benefits you need at the earliest possible date.

4. You incur no out-of-pocket costs.

We do not accept any up-front fees when we work with you on your SSDI application. Instead, we receive a pre-arranged percentage of the money you are awarded, after your application is approved. If the Social Security Administration denies your claim, you will not owe us anything.

5. Meet all deadlines.

If you miss an application deadline, you may have to start the process over from the beginning, or even forfeit your right to benefits. As your legal representative, your attorney will relieve you of the stress of worrying about deadlines. We will will make sure that no “red tape” impedes you from getting the benefits you deserve, as soon as possible.
