GET A FREE DISABILITY CASE EVALUATION TO SEE IF YOU QUALIFY

The Forsythe Firm in Huntsville, AL is offering free, no obligation evaluations of Social Security disability claims.  We will evaluate your claim before you file, recommend the best approach and tell you the strengths and weaknesses of your claim.  Every claim is different.

Factors that must be considered in any claims analysis include:
  1. Your age
  2. Your education
  3. Your past work history and experience
  4. Your medical conditions - both physical and mental
  5. How much medical treatment you have received and are now receiving?
  6.  Do you meet a Listed Impairment (not required)?
  7.  Can you qualify for a Compassionate Allowance and faster approval?
  8.  Are you a disabled veteran?
How does a free case evaluation work?  First, we will speak with you on the telephone and take some basic information.  Next, we will probably set up a free office consultation at our Huntsville Office (near Bridge Street).  We will review your medical and job information and help you make a decision whether you have a viable claim for Social Security benefits.  We will not pressure you in any way.  We will explain your options, how we work, how long it will take, etc.  If you decide for us to represent you, and if we decide to take your case, you will only pay us a fee if you win your claim and collect past due benefits.  If you lose or if you collect no past due or retroactive benefits, you never pay us a dime, no matter how much we worked on your case.

You may start by telling us about your condition by answering a few simple questions on our website.  This information is confidential, to be reviewed only by one of our trained advocates or partners.  Just click the link below and answer a few basic questions.  We will contact you for more information.

    Fees on Social Security cases are highly regulated by the Social Security rules and regulations. We cannot charge you a fee until Social Security approves it.

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
