Question 1

How Much Are Your Services?

Accepted Answer

You only stand to gain—not lose. How is that possible?

Because our fee is contingent on winning your case. If we don’t win, you don’t owe us anything—you simply walk away.

If you’re approved, Social Security looks back at the months your claim was pending and determines what you should have been paid during that time (this is called back pay). Once that amount is calculated, Social Security pays our fee directly from the back pay (up to 25%, subject to SSA rules), and you receive the remaining 75% of back pay. After that, you receive 100% of your ongoing monthly benefits going forward.

In other words: No Out-Of-Pocket Risk—No Downside—Just Potential Benefits

Question 2

What Are The Benefits To Hiring You?

Accepted Answer

I do all the leg work so you don’t have to. With my experience I know what the disability examiners are looking for, allowing me to decrease processing times and greatly increase approval chances. If your case isn’t approved, then you do not owe me anything and I take a hit to my approval stats and my credibility.

Question 3

How Are You Different From A Lawyer?

Accepted Answer

I have an added advantage because I was trained by Social Security through my previous work there. I understand what SSA requires and how claims are evaluated, and I’ll teach you what SSA is looking for.

Once you’re approved, Social Security periodically conducts  Continuing Disability Review (CDR) every few years. By working together, you’ll already understand what SSA expects.

I provide the same core representation, support, and services you’d receive from an attorney at the initial application, reconsideration, and appeal hearing levels.

The only limitation is that I can’t represent cases at the federal court level—which applies to fewer than 5% of claims. If I believed your case would require federal court to win, I would be upfront with you and would not take the case.

Question 4

Why Are So Many Cases Denied On Initial Application?

Accepted Answer

Very few cases are clear cut and fall into a gray area. The trick is getting the functional limitations documented into the record. We'll teach you how to avoid common mistakes that lead to denials.

Question 5

Do I Really Need A Representative?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your circumstances. If you need the financial and medical help as soon as possible then a representative can provide you the best opportunity to being approved. Using their knowledge and skills to decrease processing times and increase your chances of being approved.
 
And remember: you have nothing to lose by hiring representation. If the claim is denied, you owe nothing. If you’re approved, the fee is paid directly from your accumulated back pay—the representative receives 25%—and you receive the remaining 75%, plus 100% of your ongoing monthly benefits going forward.

Question 6

How Will I Be Kept Informed About My Case?

Accepted Answer

I will give you rountine updates and will email and text you with tips to improve your claim.
