Carolina Social Security Disability Hearing Attorneys
The initial denial of your Social Security Disability claim is not the end of your case. It is simply the end of the beginning. At the law firm of Fulton & Barr in Greenville, South Carolina, our attorneys will work closely with you during the next stages of your case to help you get the benefits you deserve.
Most Social Security claims have a second stage and third stage, including:
- Reconsideration. During reconsideration, you and your attorney can add more information about your disability on your medical file. The reconsideration process takes about two to three months. Unfortunately, most SSD/SSDI cases are also denied during this stage.
- SSD / SSDI hearing. If your claim is denied at reconsideration, you have the right to a hearing before an administrative law judge. This stage is where most SSD/SSDI cases are won. However, due to government cutbacks there can be up to a two-year wait for a hearing.
The attorneys at our firm will work closely with you, your doctor and the Social Security Administration to keep your case moving along and keep you informed of your SSD/SSDI claim status. We can't change the way the Social Security Administration does business. However, our lawyers can reduce your waiting time in certain cases.
For example, our attorneys have been successful in handling rocket-docket appeals for clients over 50 who have certain disabilities. In some cases an on the record decision can be obtained without the wait for a hearing. There are also certain emergency situations that qualify for an emergency hearing, thus eliminating or reducing your wait time. The rocket-docket handling of your claim can reduce your waiting time significantly.
