Download or read book An Insider's Guide to Social Security Disability written by Charles Richfield and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-09-24 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here's how YOU can avoid the mistakes that cause many disability claims to be wrongly denied. Did you know that more than half of those who apply for Social Security or SSI disability and receive a medical decision are eventually APPROVED? However, it is also true that only about 35% of people filing for benefits are approved the first time they apply. This means that many cases are denied the first time and then approved after filing an appeal. Why are so many claims denied the first time? In many cases, the initial application is just not filled out correctly. No matter how severe your medical problems are, if you don't explain them well enough and provide the right information when you apply, your claim can be denied. As a former Social Security Claims Representative who recently retired after 25 years of handling disability claims, the author of this book can offer you the benefit of his experience by walking you step-by-step through the application process. In this simple, easy to follow, no-nonsense guide, Charles Richfield focuses on what you really need to know as a claimant for disability. He does not waste your time with useless information about the history of Social Security, and does his best not to confuse you with unnecessary details about rules, regulations and exceptions that don't apply to most people applying for benefits; this is NOT a training manual! You will learn and understand: -The basic types of disability benefits and how to qualify for them -How the medical decision is made -How to decide if you need a lawyer -What you need to do even BEFORE you file the application -How to go about filing your own application without even coming into an office -What you need to know about applying in person or by phone -What you need to do while your application is waiting for a medical decision -What to expect if your application is approved -The best ways to file effective appeal requests that will maximize your chances of being approved In addition, the author has included a Special Bonus Section near the end of the book which not only gives you expert advice about filling out the medical and work history sections of the Adult Disability Report; it also explains how you can find out EXACTLY what kinds of medical records and test results the examiner will be looking for according to the type of illness or injury you have. That information alone could help you provide the examiner with the proof needed to approve your claim! If you or someone you know is unable to work because of injury or illness, don't wait! You can lose hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars in disability benefits if you wait too long to apply-it happens to other people much too often. File that application as soon as you can, but also make sure you fill it out THE RIGHT WAY from the start! This book will help you to do just that.

Download or read book Improving the Social Security Disability Decision Process written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-05-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Social Security Administration (SSA) provides Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits to disabled persons of less than full retirement age and to their dependents. SSA also provides Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments to disabled persons who are under age 65. For both programs, disability is defined as a "medically determinable physical or mental impairment" that prevents an individual from engaging in any substantial gainful activity and is expected to last at least 12 months or result in death. Assuming that an applicant meets the nonmedical requirements for eligibility (e.g., quarters of covered employment for SSDI; income and asset limits for SSI), the file is sent to the Disability Determination Services (DDS) agency operated by the state in which he or she lives for a determination of medical eligibility. SSA reimburses the states for the full costs of the DDSs. The DDSs apply a sequential decision process specified by SSA to make an initial decision whether a claim should be allowed or denied. If the claim is denied, the decision can be appealed through several levels of administrative and judicial review. On average, the DDSs allow 37 percent of the claims they adjudicate through the five-step process. A third of those denied decide to appeal, and three-quarters of the appeals result in allowances. Nearly 30 percent of the allowances made each year are made during the appeals process after an initial denial. In 2003, the Commissioner of Social Security announced her intent to develop a "new approach" to disability determination. In late 2004, SSA asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to help in two areas related to its initiatives to improve the disability decision process: 1) Improvements in the criteria for determining the severity of impairments, and 2) Improvements in the use of medical expertise in the disability decision process. This interim report provides preliminary recommendations addressing the three tasks that relate to medical expertise issues, with a special focus on the appropriate qualifications of medical and psychological experts involved in disability decision making. After further information gathering and analyses of the effectiveness of the disability decision process in identifying those who qualify for benefits and those who do not, the committee may refine its recommendations concerning medical and psychological expertise in the final report. The final report will address a number of issues with potential implications for the qualifications of the medical experts involved in the disability decision process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors' intention in creating this Forms Library as a companion to their bestselling series is to help you and your family keep your Social Security Disability Benefits as well as provide you with the forms you'll need to facilitate the process of preparing for the tool the Social Security Administration uses to determine whether or not your Disability Benefits should cease or continue - the CDR (Continuing Disability Review).The Forms Library is designed to make it as easy as possible for your medical provider(s) to prepare the information Social Security needs in order to make a decision on your claim.The SSA periodically reviews existing recipients' conditions to ensure they still meet SSA eligibility requirements. You will likely be contacted at some point in your life and, depending on your age, maybe even multiple times to have your claim reviewed. You do not want your hard-earned benefits terminated! For many of you, your benefits are a crucial part of your financial security.Our Forms Library is designed to prepare you for when you receive a Continuing Disability Review (CDR). Use the forms that coincide with your particular medical issues. The forms are user-friendly for your medical provider(s). Do not be afraid to ask them to complete the forms. We often heard that our client did not want to bother the doctor by asking him or her to complete a form. This is part of practicing medicine. It is in the medical providers' best business interests to keep you on Social Security Disability because then you have health insurance and they get paid.We recommend that you get your provider to complete a form for every problem you have, but at the very least, you want to have a Physical Capacities Evaluation completed. Your benefits are at stake here, so you need to make sure you get every shred of medical evidence you can get that supports your claim.The use of these forms will go a long way towards helping Social Security understand what mental and/or physical problems prevent you from working.PRAISE FOR JERROLD ZIVIC AND HIS WORK:Working with Mr. Zivic over the past 25 yrs has proven to be very rewarding.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you thinking about filing for Social Security Disability but don't know where to start? Most disability claimants start the process without knowing that there are very important steps they should take before filing a claim. From talking to medical providers about disability to gathering medical evidence to making that phone call, claimants must understand the "big picture" of a disability claim, otherwise they risk going through years of hardship waiting for a disability award that may never come; all because they filed their claim without the right tools from the start. Real Tactics for Filing Your Social Security Disability Claim is a tactical guide where you will learn the 'ins and outs' of preparing and filing a disability claim, just like the pros, to increase your chances of winning your claim. This guide was written for the non-legally trained claimant in language that requires no translation by a lawyer. That's right! No attorney 'gibberish' or 'snooze-fest' terms. The tactics here are written in plain English that anyone can understand and follow. Readers will also be able to join an exclusive Facebook page where they can ask questions about the lessons and materials so that no stone is left unturned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More people are denied SSI and Social Security Disability than are allowed benefits the first time they apply. This includes children and adults. Appeals can take a year or more. In a simplified step by step guide Mike Davis gives disability applicants the crucial information they need to know and exactly what to do to make the best case the first time around. A former SSI and Social Security Disability Claims Examiner, the author has worked on over 4000 cases over a seven-year period. "Too often I have had to deny a claim when I thought there was a genuine disability, but the case was not complete enough to render a favorable decision. What I have tried to do in this book is give the reader the information needed to present his or her case fully, accurately, and in the best possible light. I believe this will increase the chances of a favorable decision dramatically." Here is the inside scoop on what the decision-makers are really looking for and how you can help them to get it.
