Don't give up! One of the most successful, client-dedicated, and well-known Indiana Social Security disability law firms is here to help you.

Over 2.5 million people apply for social security disability benefits each year, and the Social Security Adminsitration is looking for any possible way to deny each of those applications.

If you have already received your disability denial, it shouldn't be surprising or discouraging. Over 70% of first time applicants are turned away. There are several reasons the Social Security Adminsitration will try to use to deny your disability claim. They will say:

"You Did Not Provide Sufficient Medical Proof"

"You Have an Impairment That is Not Considered Severe"

"You Have an Impairment Resulting From Alcohol or Drug Addiction"

"You Have an Impairment That is Not Expected to Last More Than One Year"

"You are Able to Perform Your Usual Type of Work"

"You are Able to Perform Another Type of Work"

"You Fail to Take Prescribed Medicine as Directed"

"You Return to Work While Application is Pending"

Not one of these reasons should be an excuse to give up. The Social Security appeals process can be frustrating, but there is hope! Three out of four people who file an appeal end up receiving their benefits. However, to increase your likelihood of receiving benefits, it's critical that you hire a reputable Indiana social security disability law firm to file for reconsideration on your behalf. Using experienced legal representation ensures that there will be no mistakes in your application, the proper documentation is obtained, and all deadlines are met.

If you choose not to hire a social secuirty disability lawyer, you'll be adding to your frustration. Already suffering mentally or physically, you will be forced to wait for a hearing, and this wait can be extremely long. The average person who has been denied disability benefits will have to wait an average of 499 days. During this year and a half you will have to do without financial assistance, relying on help from family members and friends, putting a strain on everyone involved.

Once the date of your hearing has been set you may be denied again, only to start the entire process over. There are currently 750,000 cases waiting to be heard. If your claim is denied, that makes you case number 750,001. There is no doubt that the Social Security disability system is backlogged and not functioning properly. The question is: What can you do to ensure that your disability claim is approved?
