5 Ways to Strengthen Your Claim for SSD Benefits

Honest and Detailed

Here are 5 ways you can strengthen your claim for Social Security Disability benefits.

1. Be honest in all of your dealings with Social Security and your doctors. Your credibility is your most valuable asset.
2. Get organized and stay organized. Come up with a filing system that works for you, and stick to it.
3. Monitor your symptoms. Keep a detailed symptom diary to track the nature of your symptoms.
4. Be a good patient. If your impairment is truly severe then it warrants medical attention.
5. Submit all relevant medical evidence. Make sure Social Security has your current and complete medical records to conclude that you have a severe impairment that prevents your from working.

The processing time for an SSDI claim can be quite long. So the sooner you get in touch with a skilled SSDI attorney, the better. I can help speed your case through the system—especially if your situation is desperate, either financially or medically. I may even be able to request an On the Record (OTR) decision, which would allow you to receive benefits without a hearing.

You deserve a compassionate advocate who will fight for you to receive the SSDI benefits you’re entitled to. Call 301-589-4597 or email me at ds@dsteinlaw.com today for a free consultation about your disability case.
