Disability is hard to get. The assistant or lawyer is your best route. I wouldn't tell you this, but I really believe this is the best way to go. don't try to do it all on your own. The folks that do, wind up for the most part seeking that kind of help down the line when they get denied a time or two. The assistant will be able to tell you exactly what is required regarding your jobs, information and history. I do wish you all the best. ginnie  |
Most attorneys will not take a client in the beginning stages, since they are paid out of backpay.
Some non-attorney reps will be willing to help from the beginning.
Not every person applying needs help with the application process, and since attorney's have an incentive to draw out the process, it doesn't speed things up in some scenarios.
