Hire Best Pros is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not decide eligibility for benefits. We help connect you with attorneys and representatives who handle Social Security disability claims.
Hire Best Pros helps consumers connect with independent professionals and service providers. We generally do not perform the underlying services. You should evaluate providers and decide which option is right for you.
The medical record is the case
Gaps in treatment weaken a claim even when the condition is serious. Records that describe what you can and cannot do carry more weight than a diagnosis alone.
Appeal deadlines are strict
Each stage has its own deadline, commonly sixty days from the notice. Missing one can mean starting over and losing back benefits.
Fees are federally regulated
Representation fees are capped and usually payable only out of past-due benefits if the claim succeeds. Confirm the current terms in writing.

Frequently asked questions
Why was my first application denied?
Most first applications are denied, frequently because the file does not yet document how the condition limits daily work activity. The appeal is where many claims are actually decided.
How long does a disability claim take?
Initial decisions often take several months, and an appeal that reaches a hearing can take considerably longer depending on the local backlog.
Can I work while I claim?
Limited work may be possible, but earnings above the threshold Social Security sets can disqualify a claim. Check the current figure before taking anything on.
