It’s important to understand the process your Social Security disability claim will go through to make a determination of whether a person is disabled. For those new to the system, the thought of going through such can seem daunting.
If you have been denied twice when seeking Social Security disability benefits, then you know it is time to file an appeal for a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ).
There are many people with really bad conditions in which any amount of medical treatment will not help. If you have a serious back condition that will require surgery and you can’t afford it, then going to the doctor is not going to do you much good. For people with MS, there are few options as well.
There are only certain situations in which the Social Security Administration will deem a case worth expediting through the disability process. If your case does not meet one or more of the required criteria, you will likely have to stand in line and wait with the others.
Believe it or not, this is quite a common occurrence. The trick is to not only know what you’re doing when filing for disability benefits but understanding the process of determining when someone is or is not disabled.
