Social Security Administration

By law, anyone may file a claim for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits with the Social Security Administration. There are three ways an individual can go about this application to the Social Security Administration.  One way is to file in person at a local Social Security Administration office. Another way is to contact Social Security Administration by telephone and arrange for a telephonic interview to file a claim. The last way is to file an application online.

Filing an application for SSD benefits with the Social Security Administration is an easy process to get started with. However, this does not only refer to the initial application stage. It refers to the entire disability process which can even lead all the way to the appeals stage. The approval process can become long and tedious. Social Security Administration does not really tell how long the approval may take exactly.

Although they may say that “an initial application may take 120 days to process on average”. This is only one of the many reasons why applying for Social Security Disability benefits with the Social Security Administration may turn out to be a very tiring and annoying experience.

However, there is also that possibility that some individuals will just breeze through the approval system and get approved on their very first application for SSD benefits. Nevertheless, it has remained to be a reality that the ratio of claimants who do not experience such scenario of having been granted benefits on their first application tends to be fairly small.

There are even times that SSD benefits are often denied by the Social Security Administration to people who have legitimate claims. These are the reasons why it is advisable to seek the help of a Los Angeles Social Security Law Attorney. Statistics clearly show that claimants who have legal representation have been awarded their benefits more often than those who apply by themselves.
