to determine what your “Remaining Functional Capacity” or “RFC” is and afterward
determine if that RFC fits the requirements to be considered handicapped. In
addition to sorting out your RFC, Social Security will likewise need to
determine which of several sets of requirements apply to you based on factors
such as your age, education, and work insight.

For
instance, a 60 year old or someone with a history of factory work will have an
easier case than a 40 year old or someone with a history of office work.
These cases consistently
come to down to getting your doctor to state in the clinical record how long
will be absent and afterward convincing the Judge to believe your doctor. This
can be a troublesome task, and is the reason it is so essential to have an

The
Social Security Disability Application process is a lengthy one and consists of
two levels: Initial Application and Hearing. There are additionally appeals
after the hearing level, yet they are more uncommon and less powerful than the
two primary levels.
You
will need to begin by filing your Initial Application. At the point when an
individual initially applies for Social Security Disability, it is known as the
Initial level. It for the most part takes around 4-6 months to get a decision
back. The Disability Examiner will demand clinical records and gather proof
based on the information gave in your application. On the off chance that there
is an absence of proof or clarification is required, a Consultative Exam (CE)
might be planned. At the point when the record is finished, or all clinical
proof has been processed, a Medical Examiner will settle on a decision.
In
the event that your application was denied at the Initial Level, the following
is the Hearing level. Once the Request for Hearing has been filed, the document
is sent to the nearby hearing office. A hearing is then planned and the
inquirer shows up under the steady gaze of an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ),
who settles on a decision based on clinical records and testimonies from the
petitioner and master observers. At this hearing, we would represent you, and
present to the ALJ all the clinical proof we have gathered together. This
entire process takes 12-18 months (longer in other states), yet has the highest
success rate.
What
are my odds? Nationwide, 83% of all Social Security Disability claims are
endorsed when represented by an attorney. This drops to 21% when you do not
have an attorney.
