Dallas Disability Claims & Benefits
Mistakes to avoid in a claim
The application process for Social Security disability is a lengthy and involved one. Some things you can do to smooth the way to a positive result include the following:
- Be patient: It can take many months, and even years to get a hearing and decision.
- Be prepared: Gather all the necessary documents before you file your application.
- Fill out the forms properly: Incorrect or inappropriate statements or forms make it easy to deny a claim.
- Medical documentation: Claims may be rejected for insufficient medical documentation or because of the unconvincing nature of the statement of the doctor.
- Work history: Many claims are rejected for a failure to include a full work history.
- File a complete disability report: The Disability Report is key to your application. It provides information on your disability and is used by the SSA in determining your assessment of your disability.
