Every day, people walk around with disabilities that make it difficult to hold down jobs and provide for their families. These individuals often submit SSI applications hoping for government assistance. Unfortunately, most of these applications get denied. That’s why it’s important to hire an attorney to help with SSI in Halifax.
Submit the Strongest Application
Most applications get denied because they’re missing key information. Applicants failed to submit the correct paperwork, or they didn’t fill out the application correctly. Hiring an attorney to help file the initial application never guarantees approval, but it makes it more likely.
Applicants who have an attorney and their legal team working with them to file a claim submit stronger applications. The legal team goes to work gathering the correct information and makes sure the application is submitted correctly. Having a team of helpers makes the process less stressful for the applicant.
Assist with the Appeals Process
Once an SSI claim gets denied, the next step is the appeals process. Even if an applicant didn’t have an attorney to file the initial claim, they need one now. Going through the appeals process isn’t something one should do without legal representation.
The appeals process includes a hearing in front of an administrative judge. During this hearing, medical evidence must be presented, witnesses heard, and other legal requirements that require an attorney.
Applying for SSI in Halifax isn’t a quick process. Some people can wait years to get the relief they seek. For legal assistance filing a claim or handling an appeal, contact Cunningham Law Group online.
