Are You About To Make One Of These Three Mistakes People Make when Applying for Social Security Disability in Arkansas?
If you are considering filing for Social Security Disability benefits, don’t make one of the “easy” mistakes that can result in a denied application for benefits.
Here are some of the most common – and avoidable – mistakes that I see people make when applying for Social Security disability benefits:
1. Not applying soon enough. There is a common myth that you must be out of work a year before you apply. (I recently heard this when talking to another lawyer who was referring me a case!) The Social Security disability application and appeals process can take a long time. Waiting until things “get bad” can result in a longer wait for a decision on your application or a longer wait for an appeal. A HUGE factor you must consider is your work credits. By waiting too long to file, you may lose important benefits.
2. Not providing the Social Security Administration with all of the information requested. While the Social Security Administration may receive your medical records from your treatment providers – make no mistake – this is YOUR responsibility. Want to make sure that your case is decided on ALL of your medical evidence – make sure you have it and make sure you provide copies to Social Security. It IS NOT Social Security’s duty to prove your case!
3. Missing medical appointments or failing to follow the treatment plan from your medical providers. Medical evidence is crucial in all Social Security disability claims. You do not want a disability examiner or an Administrative Law Judge to review your records and see that you have been a “no show” for the majority or your medical appointments. If there is a good explanation for missing your appointment, make sure your doctor knows the reason! You also want to follow the instructions from your doctor – like being a “no show,” being described by your doctor as “non-compliant” is damaging to your application for benefits.
