Whether you’ve been denied Social Security or you’re applying for benefits for the first time, you might find that the process can be difficult or confusing at times. An attorney can walk you through each step of the way and fight for you to get the benefits that you deserve. Here are a few ways to prepare for your first meeting with an attorney.
Things to Take
There are a few things that you want to make sure you have on hand when you meet with a Social Security attorney in Greensboro. Take a copy of your work history as well as your current job and the responsibilities that you have and your income. You also need to take medical records from your doctor, especially if you’ve been ordered not to work. A list of physical limitations should be taken as well. If you’ve applied for Social Security in the past and been denied, you need to take this information so that the attorney can file an appeal.
Expectations
When you meet with a Social Security attorney in Greensboro, you’ll have a chance to look at your claim and see if anything should be changed if you’ve been denied and what should be presented in court to increase your chances of obtaining your benefits the first time you apply. You’ll usually need to sign a release form so that your attorney can look at your medical records and talk to your doctor as this can sometimes shorten the length of time it takes to complete the process.
