DISABLED BUT CAN'T GET BENEFITS? YOU NEED HELP.

                           THE FORSYTHE FIRM

Being disabled is one thing.  Getting benefits for a disability is another.

Two-thirds of all disability claims will be denied in 2018, as they were in 2017.

And most of the denials happened to people who were truly disabled--even according to Social Security's strict definition.

So, is there hope of getting approved and getting paid?  Yes, there is.  It is the process that is long, difficult and confusing.  Most people find that they need professional help to successfully defend a Social Security disability claim.

Denial letters usually read:  "You are not disabled according to OUR rules."  It is their rules that cause the problem.

Social Security's definition of disability is horribly narrow.  They generally interpret "disability" as being unable to perform any kind of full-time work.  Therefore, if they believe a claimant can work as a garment folder, a silverware wrapper or a ticket taker--they will deny the claim.

Wait a minute, you say.  Nobody can get one of those jobs.  You're right but it doesn't matter. Social Security is not required to show that you can get a job, only that you would be able to perform the job--and the regulations permit them to deny your claim.

They key to being approved is air tight medical records that document the nature, longevity and severity of your impairment(s).  You must also address why you cannot perform any of your past relevant work OR any other kind of work.  You must relate specific, objective medical evidence to your restriction in activities like sitting, standing, walking, lifting, bending, reaching, staying focused, etc.  This is difficult.

If you want the best chance of being approved at the application level, please contact us.  If you have applied and recently been denied, please contact us.  If we accept your case for representation, we will never ask you for money.  If you are approved and back pay is issued, Social Security will pay our fee directly.  If you are not approved, no fee will be due.
Initial consultations are free and without obligation.
