A disability lawyer will be able to assist you with correctly filling out the paperwork required and can often times increase your chances of winning the appeal. Many applicants who apply for disability benefits become discouraged after the first denial and assume they do not qualify. In many situations the reason for denial is due to a lack of correct information in the original application. A disability lawyer will review you previous application and evaluate your case to help determine if you meet the requirements of the Social Security Administration for disability. When you meet with the attorney for your consultation, he will review your previous application and help you determine if you indeed qualify for an appeal.
