Why Would You Need a Lawyer to Apply for Social Security Disability Benefits?

It’s possible to get benefits without a lawyer. However, around 30% of applications are denied simply because of technical mistakes an experienced lawyer would not have made. In addition, for the over 3/4ths of applicants initially denied at the first step, an attorney can help you all the way through your appeals process, even in Federal Court. Finally, your lawyer will never cost anything out-of-pocket to help with Social Security Disability—their fees are legally capped and only taken out of your disability back-pay when you win your case.
