Go To Bat For The Underdog As A Social Security AdvocateIf you have met the unfortunate circumstance of becoming disabled, whether it is mentally, physically or emotionally, wouldn’t it be nice to know that someone was on your side fighting to get you the benefits that you rightfully deserve? A social security advocate does just that. These social workers act on behalf of those you need to file disability claims for financial supplementation from an injury or mental illness that will leave them incapable of working for at least the upcoming 12 months, or if their illness or disability is certain to end in death. Social security assert that filing a disability claim should only take a person an average of 2 or 3 hours, when in reality, the process is so long with a number of loopholes that only approximately 7 out of 10 applicants actually end up receiving any kind of supplementation. When you work directly with a Social security advocate, they can walk you through all of the red tape and help you expedite your claim and get you on your way to getting the financial support that you need in this trying time in your life. With the assistance of an advocate, this process can be completed, turned in and you can begin receiving supplementation in as little as 90-120 days. Advocates can also work with those who have previously been denied a disability claim through social security. As mentioned above, there are many loopholes associated with these claims, and if sufficient evidence is not presented or certain paperwork or documentation is not provided or is unable to be found, a claim will be denied, regardless of how legitimate and needed this financial supplement from the government may be. Your social security advocate will work tirelessly to work through all of the loopholes and try to uncover as much documentation and information needed to see that your disability claim goes forward and does not get denied another time. If your physician feels that your disability is more short term rather than long, you will not be allowed to receive any form of disability benefits from social security, with the exception of being diagnosed with a terminal illness that will result in your death in less than 12 months. If you are physically or mentally unable to work, but do not qualify for benefits from the government, your social security advocate can point you in another direction to see if you can seek compensation through another outlet. |
