Struggling with your Social Security claim? Don’t give up!

Are you tired of waiting for days for a Social Security representative to return your phone call? Do you wish someone could sit down and walk you through the confusing piles of paperwork?  Are you worried that your application will be rejected again?

Of course, applying for Social Security disability can be a long, confusing process. If you’re overwhelmed or unsure how to get started, you’re not alone.

It’s easy to miss a step.

Five Things You May Not Know About Social Security Disability

1. Most Social Security disability applications are initially rejected: Common mistakes applicants make include providing incomplete information and missing deadlines. The experienced disability attorneys at Hensley Legal Group often get this decision reversed upon appeal.
2. A doctor’s OK to work does not exclude you from eligibility: It’s common for an applicant to receive a doctor’s clean bill of health at the initial Social Security medical exam. However, you may be able to appeal if another doctor believes your illness makes you ineligible to work.
3. Social Security disability can supplement long-term disability: Even if you are currently receiving disability benefits, you can still apply to receive Social Security benefits as well.
4. Social Security disability covers mental issues: While most long-term disability policies cover mental problems for only two years, you may be able to receive benefits from Social Security disability for longer.
5. You don’t have to write off past due benefits: If your disability or illness has been ongoing, you can apply for back pay for benefits you should have received when the illness started.

How do I get started with my Social Security Disability application?

You may be eligible for Indiana or Ohio Social Security disability benefits if you suffer from:

• Multiple sclerosis
• Crohn’s disease
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
• Arthritis
• Cancer
• Depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia
• Gastro/intestinal issues
• Seizures
• Skeletal issues, such as bad knees, hips, or back
• Other serious diseases or illnesses

How long does it take to get Social Security Disability benefits?

In the best case scenario, you might start receiving Social Security benefits 90 days after your initial application has been approved.  However, with the current Social Security disability application backlog, you may have to wait a while.

Unfortunately, if you are in the 70 percent majority, your initial claim will be denied. If you pursue a hearing and win an appeal, it could still be two years before you start receiving benefits.

Why risk waiting that long? An experienced Social Security disability attorney can help you win your case in a timely manner and make sure you get all the Social Security benefits to which you are entitled.

Don’t waste any time. Call Hensley Legal Group today at 1-888-505-8232 to make sure you have the representation that will get you the most benefits as quickly as possible.
