Helping Personal Injury Victims with SSDI
SSDI stands for social security disability. Many personal injury accident victims are so injured that they may not be able to work for one full year. If that is the case they may be entitled to social security disability benefits. Unfortunately this process can take a long time .
So if you can anticipate this potential, you should have your client file for Social security disability benefits right away. That way if they get denied at least they will not have lost a lot of time. Usually once you are a year out from your injury it is easier to prove disability since you must show you can
not do any work for one full year.
Some personal injury lawyers have little or no experience with social security disability and do not even know the difference between SSI and SSDI. Here is a post that may help you get some understanding or try the links in the posts for more information.
Ways To Speed up Your Client's SSDI or SSI Claim
Social security disability applications can take a long time. However this Cincinnati Ohio social security disability lawyer understands there are ways to speed up the process.
I have written before on my Cincinnati Social security disability lawyer blog how this can be done for veterans, homeless, and catastrophic injury as well as certain listed diseases.
However there has also been instituted by the social security disability department a program called the senior attorney program. This comes into play when you have been denied twice and now your case is at the Office of Adjudication and review. This is true whether your case is SSDI or SSI. Toy could wait on a hearing in front of a judge for 18 months.
However with the Senior attorney adjudicator program you can get a staff attorney to review your case to see if a favorable decision can be made. You have to have your evidence in order or it will never happen. That's because the decision is made on the record, the written evidence in the file. In 2010 SSA's decided about 7 percent of all cases. They only make a decision if it can be favorable.
However they will often call the attorney representing you and tell you what they need. For more information about your social security disability application or denial go to Social Security Disability Attorney Cincinnati or call me Anthony Castelli for a free consultation at 1-800-447-6549
