Do I Need an SSDI or SSI Lawyer in Tampa to Help Get My Benefits?

You can apply for SSDI and SSI benefits without the help of an attorney. However, since the denial rate for benefits is high (approximately 63%), it is recommended to work with a lawyer. They can guide you through the process and assist with an appeal if necessary. Being well-prepared for your appeal is crucial for success in front of an Administrative Law Judge.

What Documentation Do I Need to Submit with My Application?

The claims process for Social Security disability is started as soon as you file your benefits application with the SSA. Before applying, you must gather the necessary documents to support your claim and submit this along with the application.

It helps to assemble everything you need before submitting the paperwork to the SSA, so they have everything required to decide.

You can speed up the approval process by attaching the proper documents to your application. Here is a list of what you will need:

• Tax forms or W-2 forms from previous years
• Social Security numbers for your family – spouse and all minor children
• Bank account and routing numbers
• Contact information and names of anyone aware of your disability (they can support your medical condition)
• Military discharge information, if applicable – Form DD 214
• ALL medical records from ALL doctors, hospitals, and clinics that you have visited
• Contact information (names, addresses, phone numbers) for all medical providers that have treated you
• A list of all medications that you have been prescribed and the doctors who prescribed them
• A summary of your past five jobs – include the job duties and the dates worked
• Any worker’s compensation claims that you have filed or other insurance claims (include claim numbers and insurance contact information)

How We Can Help

Our Tampa Social Security Disability Benefits Lawyers will take on numerous responsibilities to see to it that your claim is accepted, including:

• Gathering the necessary medical records and up-to-date information and relaying it to the Social Security office or Disability Determination Services (DDS) examiner
• Getting in touch with your medical providers to get detailed summaries of your medical conditions so your disability is appropriately documented
• Preparing all parts of your application and submitting it within the allotted time frame
• Preparing all paperwork for appeals
• Meeting all deadlines set forth by the DDS examiner

While no one can guarantee your SSDI application outcome, we can promise to prepare your claim to the best of our abilities to provide you with the best chance of success. If you do need to appeal the SSA’s decision, then we will represent your interests before an Administrative Law Judge.
