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.

Prior to your hearing, you will be given notice to appear at a designated location so that you can testify as to why you are disabled and unable to work. On this day, you may be asked a series of questions as to your alleged disability, but even more importantly, you have the opportunity to review what the Social Security Administration has on file for your case.

If you have submitted specific medical evidence, it should be in Social Security’s file. And if it’s not, it is your responsibility to let the Judge know this. As you can see, a little thing like showing up early for your disability case can clear up any discrepancies with your official Social Security file.

Taking these steps can also lead to favorable disability decision.
