Hiring an Surprise Disability Lawyer

Surprise Social Security Disability Appeal Hearings
After you submit the initial Social Security Disability application, you should receive a decision within the following months. If you are approved, your notice of approval should let you know when to expect your first payment. If you are denied, you are allowed to appeal this decision within 60 days. At this stage of the application process, we strongly recommended that you retain the services of a qualified attorney or advocate.
The following stages of the application process are the request for reconsideration and the Social Security Disability appeal hearing. Unfortunately, many applicants are denied during reconsideration and have to move on the appeal hearing.
Scheduling an appeal hearing is not quick or easy. In fact, it can often take months to appear before an Administrative Law Judge. In cases of extreme emergency, claimants can reach out to their local congressperson to request that their hearing be held sooner. Your congressman has the power to intervene with the hearing office on your behalf.
Congressional intervention is not a guaranteed means of having your hearing moved up. If it does not work, it will not hurt your chances of receiving benefits, you will simply have to wait until your scheduled hearing date.
