How an Attorney Can Help
Many initial applications for SSD and SSI are denied because an individual is not able to paint an accurate picture of the severity and/or longevity of their mental illness. In fact, an individual needs to be able to show that he or she has been disabled for 12 months or more. Because of this, it is important to keep seeing your psychiatrist or physician regularly, as these medical records are critical to the approval or denial of your claim.
Having an experienced attorney can increase your likelihood of a successful claim. At Matt Nielson Law Offices, P.C., our legal team has helped hundreds of clients get referrals from their therapists through the use of specialized forms to accurately document the extent of the client's treatment and counseling. Organizing and gathering this information is essential at the initial application stage in the process, but also to appeal for reconsideration if you are initially denied benefits.
We are also a wealth of information regarding mental health resources in the community and for information on returning to work in a position suitable to the client's circumstances.
