Are your chances of winning a disability hearing with a lawyer better than going it alone? Yes!
The government did a study and “found that claimants who had representatives, such as an attorney or family member, were allowed benefits at a rate nearly 3 times higher than those without representatives.” Government Published 2018. THREE TIMES HIGHER! This means that with an attorney or other representative, your chances of being approved for benefits go up by three times.
Because the appeal process for disability can take many months, it is important to have a representative who knows the process. You don’t want your hearing delayed because you forgot to request a phone hearing instead of an in-person hearing. Don’t get denied because your medical records are not up to date. Find a representative you trust to guide you toward approval.
But won’t an attorney be expensive? If you can’t work, how can you pay a lawyer? Attorneys are paid a percentage of any back benefits that a successful claimant is owed. SSA caps attorney fees at 25% of these benefits, or $7,200. And Social Security pays your attorney directly from the benefits.
