How Decisions are Made
The Texas Social SecurityDisability office decides your claim for disability benefits on medical evidence. Statements and claims by doctors and others are of very little value if they are not backed up by the medical records.
If you do not properly list every treatment source on a disability application or Texas Social Security Disability Appeal, the effect can be dramatic. A case can literally be slowed down for weeks or months as a result or, worse, be decided without crucial evidence being reviewed. Typically, this results in a denial. Cases that are properly represented, of course, stand a much better chance of avoiding such scenarios and eventually being won.
Your Texas Social Security Disability Lawyer can make sure your evidence is presented properly to give you the best chance of winning your claim for Texas Social Security Disabilitybenefits.
Myth: A New Application is a Valid Appeal
A new application for Social Security Disability benefits is not a valid strategy to appeal if you have been denied benefits. In some ways, filing a new application may be the worst plan of action.
More than half of Social Security Disability claims are won at the appeals level. If you give up after being denied the first time, you never get to the appeals level where your greatest chance for success is.
To maximize your chance of success, once your first application is denied hire a Texas Social Security Disability Lawyer and pursue all reasonable appeals to get your case the attention it deserves.
