Article Surfing ArchiveHiring SSD Attorneys can be Beneficial - Articles SurfingDuties and Capabilities Unlike what other people who are pursuing their disability claims think, Social Security Disability attorneys do have their advantageous functions in having a successful case. First, SSD attorneys or representatives have the capability to determine whether an applicant is eligible for disability benefit programs of the Social Security Administration or not. Hence, they also make sure that a disabled person has applied for all the programs they are qualified. With these, the SSA offices have no reasons for losing their files and not processing their applications on time. An advocate can also determine if a claimant are qualified to reopen his previous petitions. In some instances, a reopened old application can qualify a disabled person for back benefits, thereby increasing his collections. Furthermore, these experienced representatives can evaluate cases and give their advices on how to formulate a strategy to gain successful results. These plans may include the following: ' Preparing the needed documents such as the client's birth certificate and Social Security Number ' Gathering the applicant's medical records from hospitals, clinics and private doctors who provide him treatment and medication ' Bring the applicant to other expert doctors to further enhance the credibility of the medical findings ' Teach the applicant on how to respond to the Social Security Adjuster's questions ' Further explain to the disabled applicant about the Social Security procedures to prevent mistakes and misjudgments More importantly, the disabled person may have more time for his medical treatment without much worry on the status of his disability benefits application. Fees Payment under Contingency Basis Another advantage in getting the aid of SSD attorneys in filing disability claims is that most of them work on a contingent basis. This means, a Social Security Disability benefits applicant will only has to pay his attorney's fees if he has able to win the case and already get his money from the SSA. Generally, Social Security representatives charge their clients around 25% to 40% of the total collected money or depending on the amount of the money collected. Compared to how much the applicant may acquire in winning a case, such charges are just fair enough considering the time and efforts an attorney may lose if they failed to have a case approval. With this type of payment plan, the disabled clients should not have to worry on where to get money to pay his attorney especially if he loss his case. How to Find Dependable SSD Attorneys In searching for the right attorney to handle a disability claim, one must take a lot of caution. Not all attorneys have sufficient knowledge about Social Security laws and procedures. Some of them have yet to experience handling these particular types of cases. Thus, it is vital to look at the attorney's background before appointing him to represent claim cases. Examine closely his record of winnings and probably ask if he also work on a contingency basis. In so doing these will make sure that a disabled applicant will hire the best representative for his Social Security Disability claim.
