New Jersey Claims Process Lawyers

When you are disabled, you may be eligible to receive Social Security Disability benefits. Though it may be obvious to your family, your doctors, and your colleagues that you have a disability, you will still need to put forth a claim to the Social Security office to prove your need for these benefits. The claims process can often be a complicated and tiresome one that requires past experience to complete quickly and error-free. In addition to the initial process, you may receive a denial upon your first attempt. In that case, you will need to engage in an appeals process, another lengthy endeavor.

Because these processes are so complex and bureaucratic, you may want to consider hiring an experienced attorney to help you with your claim. By doing so, you can help ensure that all of your paperwork is complete and deadlines are met. With the help of a lawyer, you can spend more time adapting to your disability and recovering from any hardships you just endured. To learn more about how an attorney can help you, contact the New Jersey claims process lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 800-346-5529.

How an Attorney Can Help

The following components of the claims process may require help from an experienced legal professional:

  • Application
  • Reconsideration
  • Hearing
  • Appeals Council
  • Federal Court
  • Continuing Disability Review

Though one individual’s process may end after he or she submits an application (and is subsequently approved), others may have to face several rounds of appeals and denials before the benefits are given. Working with an experienced disability benefits attorney can help ensure that the process goes as smoothly as possible.
