Central New York Social Security Disability

Social Security offers benefits to qualified individuals who are not capable of working any more. To be eligible for these benefits, you should submit medical evidence of a disabling state or condition that has been present for at least one year.

Over half of first-time Social Security applicants in Central New York are denied, many of whom are really eligible for the benefits. Denials are normally due to documentation problems, missed filing deadlines, or failing to submit proper medical evidence of one’s condition.

Our disability benefits lawyers at Nicholas, Perot, Smith, Welch & Smith understand that Social Security is confusing and complex. When you hire us, we will make the process easier, accurate, and completed in a timely manner.

What If My Social Security Claim Was Denied?

Our Social Security Disability Benefits lawyers handle everything in the appeals process. Many of our clients are people whose application was denied and need assistance in getting the benefits they qualify for.

The Social Security appeals procedure is as follows:

Reconsideration: Somebody who did not take part in the first denial will conduct a comprehensive review of the submission, which includes the new proof we wish to present.

Executive Law Judge Hearing: When consideration is not successful, you can have an executive law judge assess your claim. She or he may ask questions of you and your witnesses and assess the proof you present.

Appeals Council Assessment: The Social Security Advisory Council (SSAC) handles requests to assess an executive law judge ruling. SSAC has the right to ignore reviews when it feels the result of the hearing was correct, so it’s important to have a lawyer help prepare the arguments against the denial with supporting proof.

Federal Court Assessment: The last step is to have the case assessed at the Federal Court.
