A social security disability attorney is the best bet for representing the claimant
during the Social Security Disability application and appeals process. The process for claiming social security benefits can be speeded up where the claimant is represented by the Social Security Disability Attorney. There is no actual or alternative fast track process for claimants who are represented by their respective attorneys. The advantage of hiring an attorney is that these people know few things that help in getting a decision on the claims faster.
The fastest way to receive benefits is to receive approval based on the original application for the Social Security Disability benefits instead of having to appeal for the decision that can take more than one year. Taking the help of an expert attorney can help the claimant at increasing his/her chances of winning at the initial application stage or process. At the application stage, hiring an attorney can help the claimant in the following ways:
1.The attorney would fill out the claimants application so that it clearly demonstrates how the concerned claimant meets a listing or equal listing or is not able to perform any work.
2.The attorney would gather proper medical evidence to show that the claimant is having the medical impairments that he or she is claiming for or they indeed have such impairments.
3.The attorney can request aid from the claimants physician in a way that will help the case of the concerned claimant.
4.The attorney would alert Social Security Administration if the claimant has a terminal illness case making it eligible for expedient treatment.
Taking the case at the early stages is at the discretion of the social security disability attorney if he or she feels that or thinks that the claimant has a good chance of winning the case. Where the original application has been denied, the next alternative for receiving the benefits in a quick manner is to go in for or to have an on the record or OTR decision. Any outcome on the OTR decision is based on the below mentioned activities of SSD attorney:
1.Writing a clear and concise brief that meets the requirements set out by the Social Security Administration and presenting arguments about why the claimant should receive the benefits,
2.Gathering any new medical records or try to obtain information from doctors to answer questions that may not be available in the claimants medical records but is requested by the Social Security Administration or SSA,
3.The social security disability attorney would speak to an Attorney Adjudicator to relay the specific merits of the concerned claimants case or to negotiate for claimants disability onset note. These are the some of the methods that the attorney would seek for a remedy in case of an OTR decision.
