HOW TO BE APPROVED FOR DISABILITY PAY

If you look at thousands of successful Social Security disability claims, here are the things that stand out. Maybe you should consider these ideas of you're trying for disability pay:

1. Get a tried and proven Social Security attorney or advocate. Probably a waste of time without one.

2. See your doctor early and often and follow his/her treatment recommendations.

3. Get as many objective medical tests as you can (MRI,X-Ray, Ultrasound, labs, etc .).

4. Be careful not work and earn near $1,300 per month (gross). It disqualifies you.

5. Don't draw unemployment benefits if you can do without them. They hurt your case.

6. You will likely get unfavorable decisions (denials) along the way. Appeal them within the 60 day (strict) time limit.

7. Never, ever go before a judge alone. Take a good attorney/advocate with you. No exceptions.

Doing all these things won't guarantee success. However, failing to do these things will set you up for probable failure. It's all about increasing your chances. The above things give you the best chance to be approved and to get maximum benefits from your case.
