Are you disabled and unable to work? If so, you may be eligible for support through the Social Security Disability system. Chances are you’ve paid Social Security taxes all of your working life, and you’re entitled to get benefits when you’re disabled.
You hoped that this would never apply to you. But now things are different. You rightfully expect that Social Security would come through in this time of need. It seems straightforward enough. Get a claim form, file it, and start receiving checks. No attorney, representative, or other legal advice required.
The system that has been set up is badly flawed. Instead of providing relief to disabled citizens, the Social Security system seems rigged against them, making it almost impossible for disabled people to get the support they so desperately need.
Approximately 70% of all initial claims are denied, and the denial rates for appeals are even higher. If that weren’t bad enough, the people who file for disability payments, people, who need the money desperately, are forced to wait, and wait, and wait…
The process from start to finish can take several years!
