Hiring
supplemental security income lawyers for legally
representing you in a disability claim might be a good idea
especially considering the percentage of rejections that
initial claims go through. The need for a specialized
attorney is imperative because the social security
administration has a complex set of procedures and forms for
processing disability cases. Procedure manuals followed by
the administration need administrative law judges and
disability examiners to make use of the sequential
evaluation process for evaluating every disability case.
These are extremely time consuming activities irrespective
of the fact that you or your attorney handles the
proceedings.
SSI lawyers prepare winning arguments
A successful attorney will focus on the key elements of your
case that will win the argument for your case. Winning
arguments are predominantly three and successful SSI lawyers
make use of them to lead a case to success.
(1) The ssa follows a blue book known as the social
security disability list of impairments. This manual
categorizes fourteen major body system sections according to
which every physical or mental medical issue and associated
side effects are listed. This blue book can be accessed
online as well. When your current condition directly meets a
listing, you can be assured of a positive result in a
relatively short span of time. Also, you can obtain approval
without the need to go for a hearing. Listing level cases are
most often determined by disability examiners and less than
20 percent claims get approved under these listings.
(2) You need to prove that your functional capacity of
work or residual functional capacity is less than sedentary.
This means that you need to prove the fact that your medical
condition is creating issues with your line of work. For
e.g. if your medical conditions demands you to take numerous
bathroom or rest room breaks or if you experience intolerable
pain or are mentally disturbed and if such conditions hamper
the daily progress of your work, your claim can be approved
depending upon a functional capacity argument.
(3) Meeting a grid rule is the third way to win your
disability claim. Grid rules denote a set of rules that are
applicable for individuals who are over 50 years of age,
have a physical medical impairment and limited education.
SSI lawyers can try to prove that men and women over 50
years and with the above mentioned aspects find it difficult
to enter work force and this is accepted and recognized by
the social security administration. When you are 50 years
and over and have a physical and not mental impairment, you
can check the grid to see if you qualify for disability
benefits.
These three theories of disability can be applied in a way
that is suitable and appropriate for your case. Many SSI
lawyers firmly believe that social security disability
practice fits into one or more of these three disability
theories. When you understand what has to be proven and
suitably have lined up appropriate support, you can increase
your chance of winning considerably.
