If You Get Denied. While Keller & Keller is committed to helping you apply for SSDI successfully, it's important to note that not all initial applications are approved. If your application is denied, the firm will help you through the appeals process.
Secure Legal Assistance. Having legal assistance from the beginning can increase your chances of a successful SSDI application. It's important to work closely with professionals like Keller & Keller who specialize in this area and have experience navigating the complex requirements of the Social Security disability program.

There are several factors to consider when hiring a law firm to help you obtain disability benefits, but it's our belief the most important of these is whether or not your attorney maintains a specific focus in this area of law and is able to offer you "full-service representation."

Top 5 Disability Benefits Mistakes

The biggest mistake you can make is giving up; however, there are several tips and mistakes you need to be aware of when filling out your application and investigating your chances of receiving benefits.

Not having a disability. Many people are surprised when they learn that their condition doesn't meet the administration's criteria. So, what constitutes a disability? To qualify for Social Security disability benefits, applicants must be unable to perform any substantial work and have a medical condition that has lasted (or is expected to last) at least a year or results in death.

Waiting too long to apply for benefits. Applicants who wait too long to start the process do themselves a great disservice. Even if approved, applicants face a five-month waiting period before disability benefits start to arrive.

Not having your finances in order. The disability process is a mental and financial marathon. It's critical that applicants use financial planning basics to tread water until they receive disability awards and Medicare coverage for medical needs.

Poor preparation. To make Social Security take notice of an application, gather all relevant medical records, make a list of all doctors seen, and keep documents from your physicians handy, along with a list of medications taken, past and present.

Giving up. Be persistent and don't get discouraged in the face of rejection -- almost all applicants are rejected the first time. It's very possible that applicants will receive disability benefits after filing an appeal and possibly going before a judge.

Not reaching out for help. Applicants who are frustrated and having trouble with the process should contact an experienced Social Security disability lawyer or a nonprofit advocacy group.

Not changing inaccurate information. Compare annual Social Security earnings statements against W-2 tax forms for accuracy. If an error has been made, call the Social Security Administration at 800-772-1213.

There are several missteps that can be the difference between full benefits and no benefits. Fortunately, we are often able to correct these errors for our clients. Winning disability without legal representation is difficult. An estimated 65% of first-time claims are denied. If you are denied, don’t give up – call Keller & Keller at 1-800-253-5537. Our consultations are free, and you don’t pay us anything until you’re approved for benefits.
