Pennsylvania Social Security Disability Attorneys
When you are unable to work and need financial support, getting Social Security disability benefits can be extremely challenging. While the initial application is a simple matter that often can be handled on your own and even completed online, the unfortunate reality is that the majority of applications are initially denied by the Social Security administration. The real fight comes when you appeal your initial denial.
We handle most Social Security disability cases on a contingent fee basis, which means that we only get paid a fee if we are successful in your claim.
A denied claim is not the end of the line. The attorneys of Miller, Poole & Lord, LLP, are available to take further action on your Social Security disability claim. Contact us for an initial consultation about your case.
Initial Denial of Benefits is Common
The civil servants at your local Social Security office review massive amounts of SSDI and SSI claims. They send out more denial letters than approvals. Perhaps there is something missing. Perhaps paperwork isn't in order. Perhaps they just don't give the application the attention it deserves. No matter what the reason for denial is, options still exist to pursue benefits after an initial denial.
With more than 30 years of experience on our side, we know the steps necessary to get the financial support that you need.
Within 60 days of your initial denial, we will assist you in applying for a hearing. We will collect updated medical records, analyze them, and put together a strategy for presenting your case. At the Social Security disability hearing, we will be your advocates, making a clear case as to why you need benefits.
If you are still denied, there are further steps that can be taken. We can appeal in writing to the Appeals Council and can even go as far as filing a lawsuit if further appeals are rejected.
