I'VE HEARD THAT HIRING A LAWYER WILL SPEED UP THE DISABILITY BENEFITS APPPLICATION PROCESS. IS THIS TRUE?

A: No, your case will not necessarily move through the review process any quicker with a lawyer than it would without one.

However, the likelihood that your claim will be awarded benefits can increase if you are represented by a social security disability attorney. Why? While some cases are approved after the initial review process most claimants will be denied benefits after this initial process and will then move onto the next step in the process - the appeal and then again to a hearing before an administrative judge. The expertise and experience a social securtiy disability attorney brings to the table is a tremendous asset at the hearing.
