SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY NOTORIOUSLY DIFFICULT TO GET


By Charles W. Forsythe, The Forsythe Firm - Huntsville, AL


Getting Social Security disability in Alabama is notoriously difficult, with around 70 percent of initial applications denied. But it's not impossible, especially if you have sufficient work credits, strong recent medical evidence and can prove that your condition prevents you from doing ANY substantial work for at least one year.


The process involves strict medical and vocational criteria, causing most applicants to seek legal assistance from a disability lawyer. Most successful claims come after 2 appeals, one involving a hearing before a federal Administrative Law Judge. This makes SSDI a long, complex and often frustrating journey for many applicants.


When your claim gets to the hearing level (second appeal), you odds of being approved rise to a little over 50 percent. The Forsythe Firm has a success (win) rate of over 80 percent; however, we are somewhat selective about the cases we accept.
