If you only recently received these forms, then you are at the beginning of the process. Your adjuducator only just recently received your case. You should make sure to save the name and phone number of your Claims
Adjudicator. I work for SS in NJ, and I get calls from my claimants all the time.... Of course, some adjudicators are nicer than others, but I have always gone that extra mile for my claimants. Despite what you might have heard or read, we do NOT deny everyone on their first application. It is true, however, that if your case is not a slam dunk (using a term I read here), the older you are, the better your chances. 50 years old plus is good, and 55 plus is even better.

Good luck!
