CULLMAN ALABAMA DISABILITY ADVOCATES

If you are disabled and live in the Cullman, AL area you are served by the Forsythe Firm in Huntsville.  We are local Social Security disability advocates trained to help you get monthly disability benefits.  We do not charge a fee unless you win your claim and recover past due, lump sum settlements. 

We represent disability claimants all over Alabama and regularly appear in hearings and proceedings in Birmingham, Gadsden, Jasper, Florence and Mobile and Huntsville, to name a new of the ODAR offices that we cover.  

Social Security denies over 70 percent of initial claims and the claimant often has to appear at a hearing to get benefits approved.  A skilled advocate can prepare a case with evidence that is more likely to  be successful.  Claimants who show up for a hearing unrepresented will often be advised to seek adequate representative and have their hearing rescheduled.  This can delay your claim by weeks or months.  Choose an experienced advocate well in advance of your hearing to allow time for adequate preparation of your case.

We will be happy to receive your call and answer questions about your potential Social Securityh disability claim.  Our Alabama toll free number is 1-855-854-CASH (2274).  Or call our Huntsville office at (256) 799-0297.

COMPLETING THE FUNCTION REPORT FOR SOCIAL SECURITY

Social Security analyzes a new claimant's ability to perform certain activities.  This helps them to decide whether the claimant is disabled according to their rules.  They use a form called "Function Report - Form SSA-3373-BK" or one very much like it.  Be careful how you answer the questions on this form.  Strive to be accurate but also descriptive.  Try to give a real picture of how your pain or other symptoms limit your daily activities--such as shopping, driving, doing housework, socializing, etc. Here are just a few of the questions on the Function Report, as samples of the type of information being collected from each applicant who files a new claim for benefits: Do you take care of anyone else such as a wife/husband, children, parents, friend, other?  ( If you do, and do not show that you have significant problems in doing so, Social Security may judge that you are quite able to perform other activity, like working). How often do you prepare food or meals?

JUDGE JUDY TIRADES ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY

Judge Judy Sheindlin has added her two cents worth to the controversy about Social Security.  Judge Judy appeared on a Fox News program hosted by Megan Kelly and said she was tired of people getting Social Security disability because they were "alcoholics and drug addicts," adding to the popular myth that SSDI is "going broke" because of dead beat drug users who refuse to work.  Fox News did nothing to set the record straight. The truth is that by law individuals cannot qualify for SSI or SSDI benefits based on either alcohol or drug addiction/abuse. In 1996, Congress passed Public Law ( P.L. ) 104-121—which terminated benefits for Supplemental Security Income ( SSI ) and Disability Insurance ( DI ) beneficiaries whose primary impairment was drug addiction, alcoholism, or both. As a result of the 1996 legislation, those individuals became ineligible for benefits, effective January 1, 1997. Social Security will currently not award benefits to persons becau

TAKE A HARD LOOK AT SOCIAL SECURITY BEFORE YOU FILE!

Considering a Social Security disability claim?  Take a hard look at it before deciding. If you have a choice, you probably don't need to apply. Some things to consider: 1.  It will probably not be an easy or short process.  It will take about 4 months to get your initial decision and 70% of those are denials.  If you must appeal, expect a wait time of an additional 18 months after you file the appeal.  So, you may be looking at 2 years or more in many cases. 2.  You will need good medical evidence.  If you have little or no evidence from a doctor, it isn't likely you will ever be approved. 3.  You cannot apply for SSDI while you are working and earning at least $1,170 a month.  This work will disqualify you.  Many people don't realize they will have to stop working to apply for SSDI.  That's why we say, "If you have a choice, you probably don't need to apply."  If working is an option, it's the best option. 4.  The average SSDI benefit is arou
