A new study by the NBER (The National Bureau of Economic Research) was completed, analyzing the effectiveness of legal representation fo Social Seucrity disability claims in the initial allowance stage of the application process. “The authors find that legal representation increases the probability of initial allowance by 23 percentage points. Given the mean of 32 percent, this represents a very large effect.”

Legal guidance through the application process and initial allowance stage is critical. A lawyer will tell you the things that need to be presented to the Administration in the initial application stage. A lawyer can provide guidance on the questions that are asked and the information you need to have ready to present your claim.
