When you can no longer work due
to illness or injury, you may be entitled to Social Security benefits to help
you cover your cost of living and medical bills. While these claims are very
common, over half are denied. If your claim was denied, it’s time to schedule
an appointment with Iowa disability
lawyers. The denial does not mean that you are
not, in fact, disabled, and an experienced attorney will help you with the
appeals process.
In your denial notice, the
Social Security Administration will explain its reasoning. They may say, for
example, that there are other forms of work that your current condition does
not make difficult or impossible to do. Or, they may give a technical
description of how your condition does not impede your ability to perform your
duties.
Often, the SSA bases its
rationale on the incomplete medical evidence that is available. At the Law
Offices of James P. Hoffman, we carefully review clients’ cases and help them
prepare a strong appeal. Just because you have been initially denied does not
mean that you cannot receive disability benefits. But it is crucial that you
consult with an attorney who is deeply familiar with disability claims and the
appeals process.
While denials on appealed cases
are even more common than denials on first-time claims, a knowledgeable Iowa disability
lawyer will ensure that you have a better chance
of securing a favorable outcome. The sooner you speak with an attorney after
your denial, the sooner you can schedule a hearing with the SSA. At our law
firm, we take your injury or illness seriously. We understand that stress runs
high when you face financial hardship due to disability. As our client, you
receive personalized attention and aggressive representation.
