The Process of Applying for Social Security Disability Is Complicated

Applying for Social Security Disability benefits can be overwhelming. There are specific timelines that must be met, forms that must be filled out correctly, and rules and regulations that must be followed. An experienced Raleigh Disability lawyer can guide you and significantly increase your odds of success.

Applying for Disability Benefits

Are you Eligible for Social Security Disability Benefits?

You must work a certain amount throughout your life (not necessarily full time) and pay payroll taxes to be eligible for Social Security Disability. The work must also have been fairly recent. Generally, in Raleigh you must have worked five of the ten years prior to your disability.

To determine if you are eligible for benefits, the Social Security Administration (SSA) asks many questions, and your answers will influence whether or not you receive them. A Disability lawyer can help you understand and respond to these questions effectively. Call us today at 1-866-900-7078 for a free case evaluation and recommendations on next steps.

Common Disabilities That Qualify for Social Security Disability

The SSA keeps a list of “medical impairments” that generally qualify applicants for Disability benefits – from respiratory illnesses to mental health disorders. Even if your condition is not on the list, you may still be able to qualify for benefits if your impairments limit your ability to function well enough to perform your past work and other less demanding work.

To improve your chances of obtaining benefits, it is crucial to file a thorough application with proper supporting evidence and medical records. 

How Can a Raleigh Disability Lawyer Help You?

One study found that Social Security Disability claimants who engage an attorney to assist with their claim before submitting it for the initial review are 23% more likely to have their claim approved during that initial evaluation phase.

Another study found that Social Security Disability claimants who use a representative, such as a Disability lawyer, in the initial claim process decrease their total case processing time by more than 10 months.

Our Disability team can help you by:

  • handling the paperwork and monitoring filing deadlines
  • building your case by highlighting the critical aspects of your claim
  • gathering medical records and questioning any witnesses
  • handling the Social Security Administration for you

I was referred to Mr. Rick Fleming for my Social Security Disability case by another attorney I knew, and I couldn't have been happier. From the initial appointment with their office in Fayetteville, James Scott Farrin, Rick, and his paralegal Amy Casey have been nothing but outstanding to work with. 1
