2020 DISABILITY BENEFITS IN ALABAMA

Social Security uses the same rules but uses administrative changes to deny claims.  It gets harder and harder to get approved in Alabama.

In the era of Cronovirus, you can't even walk into a Social Security office to apply for benefits.  You can still apply over the phone or online, however.

Because of COVID-19 you cannot have a regular hearing if you are denied. The only hearing available to you is over the phone.

The question is:  Can you still get Social Security disability in Alabama in 2020?

The answer is:  Yes.

If you have courage, persistence and dedication--you can still get benefits.

Courage:  You must believe in your claim and take the necessary actions to get it approved, no matter how inconvenient it is.

Persistence:  You must keep at it relentlessly, even after multiple denials.  Most claims are won on the third attempt.  Denied at application, denied at Reconsideration, approved at the hearing.

Dedication:  Sometimes it takes going to the doctor for more treatment, a new exam, or additional medical information.  It may (and usually will) require hiring an attorney or advocate to fight the legal battle.

If you are disabled and are suffering financially, perhaps unable to get medical treatment, I urge you to call us today.  If we can't help we'll tell you so upfront.  If we can help, we will start right away and work non-stop toward getting your benefits for you.

SOCIAL SECURITY PAY INCREASE FOR 2025

  Social Security benefits will increase by 2.5 percent or an average of about $48 per month in 2025.   The Social Security Administration announced the COLA increase on October 10, 2024 which will take effect in January, 2025. The Part B Medicare premium (the part you pay for Medicare) also increased from $174.20 for most beneficiaries to $185 per month. I find it interesting that the government increased the Medicare premium 5.9 percent for 2025 but only gave recipients a 2.5 percent increase in benefits. If you or someone you love needs Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits, contact Charles W. Forsythe at the Forsythe Firm in Huntsville, AL.  I have helped thousands of claimants get approved in the "dumpster fire" process known as Social Security disability.   We charge no fee for consultations or case evaluations.  You will never pay us a fee until after you are approved and received your lump sum past due benefits. Our fees are controlled by the S...

YOUR CHILDREN MAY ALSO GET DISABILITY BENEFITS!

  Social Security disability may replace some income for adults who become disabled due to a physical or mental impairment.  It may also pay benefits to dependent children who are under 18 years old--or up to age 19 if they are still in high school. Dependent children are usually eligible to receive a benefit in addition to their parent who has become disabled.   Disability has an impact on the entire family.  Children continue to need food, clothing, education and medical/dental care.  Dependent's benefits from Social Security can help cover these expenses for a disabled parent. If your disability claim is being handled by a professional--an advocate or attorney--he/she will be sure to protect your children's rights to benefits.  If you are handling your own claim, be sure to notify Social Security that you have dependent children when you apply for benefits.  When benefits are approved, contact your local Social Security field office (not the he...

CONTINGENCY FEE - SOCIAL SECURITY DISABIITY AID

  Legal aid is available to you on a contingency basis.  This means that you pay nothing now and a fee will be charged only if your case is successful.  If not, you will pay nothing. The Forsythe Firm in Huntsville exclusively handles Social Security Disability (SSDI) cases and nothing else.  We have handled thousands of cases and have a solid track record of success.  You will never pay us a fee unless you win your disability case or appeal AND collect past due benefits.  And we'll put that in writing. This "contingency fee" arrangement allows you to get top notch representation for your Social Security claim with the certainty that any fee you pay will be based on a positive result that puts money in your pocket!
