Who Corrects Social Security's Mistakes?

Quite often I encounter discouraged and frustrated individuals who are disabled, have no income or means of support - and yet they have been wrongly denied Social Security disability benefits.  Yes, many deserving people are denied disability benefits after they've paid into the system for much of their lives.  Who corrects these mistakes?

The answer is - a judge.  Social Security has its own appeal system which works pretty well if used properly.  A United States (federal) judge, called an administrative law judge, will look at your case on appeal.  This judge is not bound by any previous decisions on your case.  He or she can look at the evidence and make a completely new decision.  You also have the right to appear in person with your representative and explain your case.  Quite often the judge will agree with you.  If so you will get a new decision which may be much more favorable or even totally favorable to you.

Here is a key point to remember:  You have only 60 days to appeal the denial of your Social Security disabilty benefits.  The clock begins ticking on the day you receive the letter from Social Security stating that your benefits have not been approved.  Filing an appeal is not difficult.  If you need help getting an unfavorable decision changed, call our firm today.  We will work hard for you and charge you no fees until your back pay is collected.  We have a high rate of success with Social Security disability appeals and we will discuss your case with you at no cost or obligation.

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
