Determine why your application was rejected
As an experienced Social Security disability attorney will tell you, there are numerous reasons why a claim for benefits may be rejected, but one of the main causes of applications being turned down frequently is the absence of adequate proof of your impairment. Your claim for benefits may be rejected even if your symptoms are severe and your condition is undeniably real. This is because you may not have established a record of your disability to substantiate your claim.
We can help you get the evidence needed to have your application approved
This is why it’s crucial to work with a knowledgeable Social Security disability attorney. A knowledgeable attorney can assist in ensuring that you are obtaining the greatest medical care and that the Social Security Administration (SSA) will accept and respect your medical providers.
For instance, your attorney will direct you to doctors who are accepted by the SSA because they are aware that the SSA typically does not view chiropractors, physician assistants, or nurse practitioners as acceptable medical providers.
Additionally, your Social Security disability attorney will be aware that the SSA will only take into account your condition if an objective diagnosis has been made through a clinical examination, laboratory test, or other diagnostic procedures. Your Social Security disability attorney can assist you in creating a medical record to support this initial step, and by doing so, will increase the likelihood that the SSA will accept your claim.
You have more work to do than just proving you are disabled
The SSA will revisit your symptoms after determining that you do have a medically determinable impairment to assess their severity and persistence and to establish how much they are limiting your capacity to conduct work-related tasks.
In order to fully understand the severity of your symptoms and how they are limiting your capacity to conduct work, the SSA will review both the medical records of accepted sources (such as doctors) and non-accepted sources (such as chiropractors) throughout this stage of the process.
We can help you build a solid medical record
Creating a solid medical record is essential to getting your Social Security disability claim approved, in the end. You can improve your chances of getting your claim approved on the first try by working with a knowledgeable Social Security disability attorney.
