Sometimes people will ask me if they need an attorney for their Social Security Disability case.
You are not required to have a lawyer for your disability case. However, in some cases Social Security takes your application more seriously if you have an attorney represent you.
A lawyer can also make sure all your medical records are updated and sent to the Hearing office in time for your trial.
A lawyer can ask the proper questions of your doctor for a supportive report.
A lawyer will also know what questions to ask the vocational expert. You must put your limitations in the best light for you to win your case.
Finally, there is only a fee if you win the case and the fee ranges from several hundred dollars to $5,300. There is never a fee on your monthly check. Considering your lifetime benefits could total several hundred thousand dollars, the attorney fees only are 1% to 2% of potential benefits. Not a bad return.
