5 Ways A Social Security Disability Lawyer in Houston Can Help With SSDI Claims

June 27, 2014 | By Natalie | Social Security Disability

Many applicants for Social Security disability benefits don’t consider getting legal help until their claim has already been denied. However, having an experienced Social Security disability lawyer in Houston on your side from the start can be very beneficial, for many reasons, including:

1. Determine eligibility

The SSDI application and appeals process can be long and disheartening. The requirements are tedious and stringent. Reviewing your claim with an experienced attorney before submitting it can help you figure out whether you are, in fact, eligible before beginning this process.

2. Get your application right, the first time

One of the most common reasons that claims are denied upon first application is that the paperwork is not in order. When a Houston Social Security lawyer helps you with your application, you can be sure that you have properly filled out and filed your claim the first time.

An experienced attorney will make sure the documentation needed to prove your claim is complete and filed on time in the correct way. You can also avoid common mistakes, such as understating or overstating your disability, or not providing enough detail about the impact of the disability on your daily life.

3. Get benefits faster

Getting SSDI benefits takes, on average, three to six months. Incorrect or incomplete applications can delay your approval or result in denial. You are more likely to get approved and start receiving your benefits faster if you have experienced support in the initial application process.

4. Get help with appeals

If an appeal is necessary, a Houston Social Security denial attorney will continue to represent your interests and improve your chances of approval on appeal. If your claim goes to a hearing, it is vital that you have a legal advisor to represent you in this step.

5. Get support throughout the process

The claims process can be challenging. A disability lawyer can be your advocate and your support system through this time, explaining the many confusing parts of the process. They can also help you find other resources for assistance while waiting for your SSDI benefits to be approved.

Attorney M. Stanley Whitehead - 5 out of 5 based on 36 user reviews.  
"I would highly recommend this firm to everyone, Wonderful firm, they took my case , when I was told by a few firms in Ohio that I did not have a case, Marc Whitehead and Associates settled the case in a timely fashion"  Delecia via
"I want to thank the office of Marc Whitehead and especially Jaime Almaguer who was my caseworker. I had begun the disability process myself until I heard about this lawyers' office in Texas. Seemed strange working with folks across the country that I would never meet. Nevertheless, they were able to get my disability first time around. I felt comfortable discussing my issues privately with them and being able to let Jaime do the work. He was responsive, caring and very professional. Thank you all so much, this has changed my life."  Lynne via
