How You Can Help Your Disability Lawyer
By Manuel Salvacion

Once your application is denied in the initial stage, you will most likely get the services of a disability attorney to improve your chances of winning the claim.

Here are a few points on how you can help your disability lawyer meet your goal:

• Provide information - In your first meeting, you should be able to tell your lawyer all the necessary information about the case such as the status, the last action made on the case, when was the appeal made, medical history stating your present health conditions, and the list of doctors and hospitals with the names and contact numbers and prescriptions.

• Notify And Give Updates - It is always important to let your lawyer know what is going on with you. If you change, telephone numbers or move to a new address, it is best to tell him. If you receive a letter from the social security office, you should inform your lawyer about it. Alternatively, if you just receive a new diagnosis of an illness that could affect your case, the lawyer must be notified quickly.

• Set a regular meeting - An occasional meeting with your disability attorney will help you keep informed of the status of your case. Because most disability cases often take months to be heard, a meeting with the lawyer will help you keep informed of the development in the case.

• Make sure all deadlines are met. You should honor your commitments and stick to it. Be sure to have all necessary paperwork done and accomplished. For example, if a denial letter was received, you must submit the necessary document even before the expiration of the 60-day deadline.

On the other hand, the disability lawyer checks the status of the case, resolves problems that may arise in the process, provides information to the examiner assigned on the case, and files the required paperwork.

When a case is set to be heard by a judge, the disability attorney is expected to obtain a copy of the claimant's social security file, medical records, get supporting documents from the doctors, provide copies of medical records to the judge, and prepare the case.

Before becoming an online writer, Manuel worked as a journalist, a newspaper columnist, a scriptwriter, a fiction writer, a magazine editor, and a tutor. He acquired his legal background as a Senate legislative officer and later on, as a researcher and paralegal staff in various law offices. Someday he hoped to go back and devote more time to writing fiction, which is his first passion.
