Congressional and Senatorial Offices in Riverside
During the application process, it is possible to decrease your case decision wait-time by contacting your local government offices. Here, a worker can look up your application status and potentially further it along in the process if it is stuck in limbo between assessments.

Contacting a Disability Attorney
Disability attorneys, unlike most other attorneys, work on contingency. This means that, if they agree to work on your case, they are not allowed to take payment unless you win. Even then, their payment is taken from your back pay and cannot exceed more that 25% of your earnings.
This makes disability attorneys one of the most low-risk and high-reward resources you can utilize when applying for disability benefits.
Even if you are unsure, consider a free consultation with a disability attorney today to see if they can be of help to you throughout your disability benefits process.
