HOW TO GET A FREE DISABILITY CLAIM EVALUATION

Why do more disabled veterans turn to the Forsythe Firm for trusted help and guidance on Social Security disability?

 One reason is our free disability claims evaluation.

The Forsythe Firm in Huntsville, AL is offering free, no obligation evaluations of Social Security disability claims.  We will evaluate your claim before you file, recommend the best approach and tell you the strengths and weaknesses of your claim.  Every claim is different.

Factors that must be considered in any claims analysis include:
  1. Your age
  2. Your education
  3. Your past work history and experience
  4. Your medical conditions - both physical and mental
  5. How much medical treatment you have received and are now receiving?
  6.  Do you meet a Listed Impairment (not required)?
  7.  Can you qualify for a Compassionate Allowance and faster approval?
  8.  Are you a disabled veteran?  (You may qualify for expedited processing).
How does a free case evaluation work?  First, we will speak with you on the telephone and take some basic information.  Next, we will probably set up a free office consultation at our Huntsville Office (near Bridge Street).  We will review your medical and job information and help you make a decision whether you have a viable claim for Social Security benefits.  We will not pressure you in any way.  We will explain your options, how we work, how long it will take, etc.  If you decide for us to represent you, and if we decide to take your case, you will only pay us a fee if you win your claim and collect past due benefits.  If you lose or if you collect no past due or retroactive benefits, you never pay us a dime, no matter how much we worked on your case.

You may start by telling us about your condition by answering a few simple questions on our website.  This information is confidential, to be reviewed only by one of our trained advocates or partners.  Just click the link below and answer a few basic questions.  We will contact you for more information.

VA RATINGS NOT BINDING ON SOCIAL SECURITY - BUT THEY MAY HELP

VA DISABILITY RATINGS ARE NOT BINDING ON SOCIAL SECURITY During the last decade, I have had the privilege of representing dozens of disabled veterans in getting their Social Security benefits.  My success rate has been near 100 percent in these cases.   However, VA disability ratings are not binding on the Social Security Administration.  The VA may issue a 90 or 100 percent disability rating and Social Security can still deny benefits. The regulations governing VA benefits are different from those controlling Social Security disability benefits.  The evidence required by Social Security is also different, as are the procedures.  The key to winning Social Security disability is to prove the case according to their rules . Finally, I notice that Social Security initially denies most claims filed by disabled veterans.  I believe that's because the decision making process is flawed at the initial or application level.  However,...

HOW TO GET SSDI PAYMENTS (Social Security Disability Benefits)

WHAT IS SSDI?   SSDI stands for Social Security Disability Insurance. Since 1956, the US government has required most workers to contribute to a mandatory disability insurance plan administered by the Social Security Administration.  Workers contribute approximately 7.5% of their income (listed as FICA tax on your pay stub) and employers match that amount.  The money goes into a trust account under each worker's Social Security number. A worker must accumulate a certain number of "quarters of coverage" based on payroll deductions to be covered by Social Security (SSDI). Then, if a disability occurs, the worker can apply for disability benefits.  If the worker can meet the medical definition of "disability," benefits will be paid. What Are Basic Medical Requirements for Disability?   Assuming a person has worked long enough and recently enough to be covered, here are the basic rules for getting SSDI benefits: at least 1 severe impairment that is ...

USE BOTH PHYSICAL AND MENTAL RESTRICTIONS TO WIN DISABILITY

In Social Security disability cases, decision makers will often deny a claim on the supposition that the claimant can still perform unskilled, sedentary work.  Examples of such unskilled sedentary work might be a surveillance system monitor, or a document preparer. All work has mental as well as physical demands.  The mental demands of unskilled sedentary work are defined by SSR 96-9p and SSR 85-15.  Those demands include the abilities (on a sustained basis) to understand, carry out, and remember simple instructions; to respond appropriately to supervision, coworkers, and usual work situations; and to deal with changes in a routine work setting. The loss of any of the above abilities will substantially erode the occupational base for sedentary, unskilled work and will, therefore, justify a finding of disability. Note that in order to work, a person must be able to meet the mental demands of full time, remunerative work "on a sustained basis."  A...
