Just because you believe you cannot perform any gainful work and you are convinced that you should be granted disability benefits, this does not mean that the Social Security Administration see it in the same way as you do. It is sad, but the greatest majority of people filing for disability will find their application denied and if they wish to pursue their claim they will have to file an appeal. About three quarters of all applications as well as requests for reconsideration are rejected, it is at this time when Social Security lawyers in Missouri become phenomenally important.
The key is medical evidence:
Whether your application for Social Security disability is approved or not depends on the medical evidence that supports your contention. This is where most people that apply on their won go wrong. When you hire Social Security lawyers in Missouri they will contact any and all of the medical practitioners that have been involved with your case, gathering the records that are needed to make a successful claim.
Your lawyer will examine the documents, he or she is fully aware that the SSA often dictates a particular exam or test. If it is necessary, the lawyer will arrange for additional testing, the results of which will form a part of the submission.
Preparation for your hearing:
Once your lawyer has been made aware of the date of your hearing, he or she will review that which has been submitted and determine if there are any other issues that need to be attended to. It is at this time that your lawyer will brief you on what questions to expect and provide you with an indication of what answers the judge expects to hear.
Every answer you give must be honest, even if the answer is embarrassing. There is no need to be ashamed of the fact that you are disabled and unable to work.
