With the Social Security Administration’s denial rate for disability claims hovering around 75%, it’s becoming harder and harder to qualify for benefits. While it’s apparent that medical evidence and doctor support are critical in a disability claim, to ensure that your case is air-tight, you need to know the potential negatives in your case.

If you know exactly what you need to overcome in preparation for your claim, you will be a step ahead of the pack. The Social Security Administration will receive approximately 3 million applications for disability benefits this year. Simply applying is no longer enough.

Tonite’s live disability webcast will cover the Top 5 Things That Can Damage Your Disability Case. Disability lawyer Scott Daniels will discuss how to overcome these negatives so that you can win your disability claim.

There are the easy cases where a claimant is hurt at work or is the victim of a car accident and Social Security can pinpoint the date of disability. But many cases involve degenerative changes in the body that slowly affect a person’s ability to function on a daily basis.

Everyone applying for Social Security Disbability will be asked to allege a specific date that their disability began. But what is Social Security referring to?

Is it the date I began to suffer from severe pain?

Is it the date my doctor said my condition will worsen if I continue to work?

Is is the date I stop working?

To learn more about this “alleged onset date,” read this detailed article about how this date can affect a disability claim.
