7 THINGS NOT TO DO WITH SOCIAL SECURITY DISABIILTY

Social Security disability (SSDI) is difficult to get. The rules set strict eligibility requirements which must be met to the letter.

Here are 7 things you must not do when applying for Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits:

1. Going into the process uneducated. ... Know the burden of proof you must provide and what the system requires of you. Know the medical and non-medical rules to obtain SSDI.

   
   

2. Going it alone. Most successful claimants are assisted by an experienced Social Security disability lawyer, who charges a fee only if you win.

   
   

3. Underestimating the impact of your disability. ... Don't understate your conditions you have or how they prevent you from doing a full day's work.

4. Exaggerating the impact of your disability. ... Since you will be checked out thoroughly, avoid exaggeration. Be consistent in your statements.

5. Downplaying your symptoms and limitations. Don't minimize your condition.

6. Being vague about your work history. ...Fill out your Work History Report like you case depends on it. It may. Don't skimp on details about the jobs you have done in the last 5 years before applying. Get down to the dirty details.

7. Giving Up. Those who get SSDI benefits are those who refuse to quit, who don't get discouraged, are willing to wait it out and stay the course. Getting a denial is NOT the end; it's the beginning. Appeal, Appeal, Appeal.
