Why Do I Need a Social Security Disability Lawyer?
Even with qualified representation by a Virginia Social Security lawyer, most individuals who apply for early Social Security benefits are initially denied at least twice. If you're injured, unwell, and struggling to secure the disability benefits you desperately need, you don't need ambiguous explanations. You need a prompt resolution.
Before you can receive your disability benefits, your claim will be heard by an administrative law judge. It is highly recommended that you have an attorney by your side during this stage. Although there is no guarantee that your benefits will be awarded, having an experienced social security lawyer in Norfolk, Virginia will ensure that your case is appropriately developed for the hearing.
Given that the majority of claimants lack the knowledge and skills to advocate for themselves, prepare their case for the hearing, gather the necessary records, or comprehend the complex maze of Social Security Disability rules and regulations, having an attorney can be invaluable in winning your case. Additionally, the "date of onset," which is the date when your disability payments begin, can be influenced by the length of time you have been suffering from your disability.
A social security lawyer in Norfolk, Virginia who is familiar with disability claims understands this and knows that persuading the courts to accept the earliest date of your symptoms as the beginning of your disability could result in more "back pay" for you. Kalfus & Nachman PC can assist you in addressing your Social Security Disability concerns.
Overall, while having an attorney is not obligatory, it is highly unwise and could potentially result in the loss of your benefits.
