What have you done lately to improve your chances of winning your Social Security disability or SSI claim. Did you call your lawyer to see if he or she needed your help getting any of your records? Did you bring an RFC form to your treating doctor to have him or her fill it out for you? Did you appeal that denial you got? Did you call that lawyer you are thinking of hiring? Consider this post a simple reminder to stay active in your Social Security disability or SSI claim. It is my experience that those who stay involved in their claim have a much better chance of winning. There is no person who has more at stake or cares more about your claim than you. Even if you have a lawyer, you must still learn about Social Security disability and be willing to help your lawyer get all the information that is needed to win your claim. If you don't have a lawyer, then you must learn even more about SSDI and SSI and what you should be doing to improve your chances of winning. So, if you are reading this blog post take a few minutes to think about your claim and what you still need to do. If you cannot think of anything, then try researching about your particular claim and see if there is anything you could be doing to improve your claim for benefits. The most important things to consider are, whether or not you have all the medical records that are relevant to your SSD claim sent to your file. Do you have opinion evidence from all of your treating doctors in the form of an RFC or report? Do you understand what you have to prove for your particular case to win? I hope if nothing else, this post made you stop and think of a few things you could be doing right now that would improve your case and give you the best shot to win your SSDI or SSI claim. I wish you luck and hope you are approved for benefits quickly.
