Social Security Disability Insurance, more commonly known as SSDI, is a federal program that provides financial assistance to those with a long term disability that cannot work. SSDI offers monthly benefits to disabled workers and their families if they qualify for the program. When you are applying for SSDI or have been denied an SSDI claim, it’s necessary to have an accomplished SSDI attorney, like Bruce L. Weider, by your side to help fight for your needs.
Common Mistakes That Can Delay or Deny Your Claim
When starting to apply for SSDI, it is very common to be denied on your initial application for your benefits. Do not be discouraged. Hire an experienced attorney to ensure that your documentation is filed completely and on time and that you do not fall into some of these common mistakes that often have applicants facing a denied claim.
Common mistakes such as:
- Providing Inaccurate or Incomplete Medical Information: Gathering the medical records is a lot of work, and the more medical records you provide, the more the SSA will see how your SSDI claim should be approved.
- Missing Deadlines and Time Limits: Putting off your application process can put you and your family facing financial strain as you wait for the approval. You can apply as soon as your disability begins; it takes time to put together your application and even longer for it to be approved. If you face a denial, as most people do, the appeals process will increase the time you will go without financial assistance. Start your application process as soon as possible.
- Failing to Complete All the Required Forms: You should fill out the forms on your application to the best of your ability without leaving anything blank. This process is long, and small delays, such as overlooking a missing date, are frustrating.
- Failing to Hire an Experienced SSDI Attorney: An attorney has experience filling out these forms and can help guide you to ensure that you don’t hinder the application process.
Applicants who use a law firm to represent their SSDI claim are twice as likely to get approved.
