Delaying Your Case So You Can Hire A Lawyer

Most people don’t want to delay their hearing since they’ve waited several months to appear in front of an Administrative Law Judge. But in some cases, delaying your hearing might increase your chances of winning disability benefits.

Certain disability claims are complicated. The medical evidence might be highly complex and often times, the procedural aspects of your case might also be difficult to understand. If this is the case, Administrative Law Judges frequently allow claimants to delay, or adjourn, their case so the claimant can seek representation.

As I’ve mentioned many times before on this blog, hiring a lawyer can seriously increase your chances of getting disability benefits. But when a Judge recommends that you hire a lawyer for your claim, it’s usually an indication that you should be represented by an attorney.
