WHY DISABILITY CASES ARE SO DIFFICULT

 Ultimately, Social Security disability cases are difficult because of the rules and regulations that govern them.  There are literally thousands of pages of laws that must be followed to win a claim. 

Many claimants think it will boil down to going before a judge and telling their story.  It will not.  It will come down to whether you have enough legal evidence to win your case in court.

At a minimum, here is what you must prove with objective evidence to get paid:

1.  The onset date of your impairment(s).

2.  The severity and duration of your impairment(s).

3.  Functional restrictions caused by all your symptoms.

4.  What is the maximum function you are able to perform under the medical evidence guidelines?

5.  Do you meet a Listing in the Blue Book or a Medical-vocational allowance?

IF YOU ARE UNDER 50, YOU MUST PROVE THAT....

You are not medically able to perform any full-time work which exists in significant numbers in the United States.

IF YOU ARE 50 OR OVER, YOU MUST PROVE AT A MINIMUM THAT....

You are not medically able to return to any of the past work that you performed during the most recent 15-year period.

FACTORS THAT WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED:

  • Raging COVID-19 that has destroyed millions of jobs.
  • Plant closings, lay-offs, or a slowed economy.
  • Inability to find work in your community or state.
  • No one will hire you.

To get benefits approved, you must know what Social Security considers to be disabling and what they do not.  

 A successful disability advocate or attorney knows this by years of training and experience.  

If you call our firm, the first thing we will do is provide you with a free telephone consultation to find out what your situation is, if you qualify for SSDI, and how we can help you.  You will never pay a cent up front.  In fact, if we take your case, we even pay all the expenses involved in taking your case to court or whatever must be done to get you paid.

HOW TO START?  Call our office at (256) 799-0297 and speak to one of our experienced advocate/professionals now.

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...
