Social security help, and so much more
It is possible that you will owe your attorney for other costs he or she had to take on during the process, such as ordering medical records. Q: Do you have to have an attorney in order to be awarded social security disability benefits ? A: It is possible to be awarded benefits without the help of a social security attorney. The initial review process is pretty straight forward and can usually be navigated without legal representation. Unfortunately, a fair number of applications for disability benefits are denied after they go through the initial review process. It would be beneficial to have an advocate like a social security attorney, if you would like to file an appeal.
