Need To Know Social Security & Disability Law Issues

There are basically two types of social security benefits for which disabled individuals may apply.

Each disability benefit program has its own specific criteria that must be met. These two social security disability benefits programs include: Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income.

Social Security Disability Hearings

A hearing for Social Security benefits is conducted before an administrative law judge, also known as an ALJ. It is not as formal as a traditional court hearing. Although the Social Security Administration doesn’t have an attorney representing them during a Social Security disability benefits hearing, it is essential for any claimants attending a hearing to have legal representation in their behalf. A Social Security disability benefits lawyer is the best way to ensure the most favorable outcome possible and getting your application approved.

Do you or a loved one have an upcoming hearing for Social Security disability benefits? Our Social Security disability attorneys are here to help! Contact a Social Security disability lawyer in your area today to learn more about obtaining legal representation during your hearing.

Our Social Security disability attorneys help clients with a variety of disability practice areas, including but not limited to the following:

  • ODAR Hearings
  • SSA Claims
  • Disability Benefits
  • SSI Overpayments
  • Social Security Disability
  • Supplemental Security Income
  • Social Security Appeals
  • Social Security Overpayments
  • Disability Hearings
  • Long Term Disability
  • Social Security Income / SSI
  • Disability Insurance Benefit Denials

The majority of the time, an ALJ will approve approximately 60 percent of all claimants during a hearing. However, this still needs there is a 40 percent chance of getting denied. When there is so much at stake, 40 percent is much too high and not having a lawyer by your side during the hearing will only make this figure increase.

Prior to a Social Security disability benefits hearing, your lawyer will collect and submit medical opinions, medical documents, and other key information before the hearing (and after the hearing, if needed), delivery testimony from witnesses at the hearing and also examine any witnesses summoned by the ALJ. If necessary, those witnesses will also be cross-examined.

Did you know?
Not all hearings are done in person.

In fact, there is sometimes the option of having a Social Security disability benefits hearing via video teleconference. This is a good option for those whose disability makes it very difficult to attend a face-to-face meeting.
