Obtaining Disability Benefits - David versus Goliath?
This article contains information about obtaining disability benefits from
Social Security, and how to appeal if you are denied.

"75% of all disability applicants initially will be denied benefits! Half of
those denied will give up and not appeal the denial! However, 53% of the
applicants who persevere to a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge obtain
benefits! Now you understand how the system works, it is designed to deny
benefits to as many people as possible. SSA denies initial applications because
it knows 50% of the people will give up and not appeal! But for those who
persevere and appeal the denials, the majority are eventually granted benefits."

"Retain a Disability Attorney - Retaining an attorney who specializes in
disability law should substantially increase your odds of winning [an appeal].
Most claimants have no idea what they need to prove to win their case.
Practically all disability attorneys work on a contingency fee - you only pay a
fee if you win your case. Also, Federal law sets the maximum amount the fee can
be in your case. An attorney will develop your case by obtaining the necessary
medical and vocational records and opinions from your doctors that are critical
in proving disability."
