Representation
Applying for Social Security disability can be a very confusing and a long drawn out process. When a person is sick and unable to work it can be extremely overwhelming. Completing appeal forms and requesting medical records is the last thing that a person would want to do. Having a representative can relieve this burden.
A representative’s responsibilities include:
- Completing appeal forms
- Consulting with Social Security concerning status of case
- Requesting and reviewing medical records
- Research of Social Security disability problems
- Representing claimants at the hearing before an administrative law judge
