To apply and receive Social Security disability benefits, it is not technically required to have an attorney. However, the success rate with an attorney is much higher than one without, particularly when your case has any chance of being thrown out. Many who receive disability benefits hire an attorney to help with forms, appeals, general guidance, and more.
When To Hire An Attorney
With the exception of severe illnesses that will clearly cause one to be disabled for at least twelve months, hiring an experienced Social Security disability attorney is always important to have a good chance of receiving benefits. Even if you or a loved one suffers from a clear-cut condition, applying for these benefits can be confusing without an advanced law degree.
If you or a loved one suffers from a condition that does not always disable people, a combination of illnesses that cause disability, or a mental illness, hiring a Social Security disability attorney is a huge help. These conditions can be hard to prove if you are unsure of what clinical findings and symptoms to emphasize in your claim.
