Filing for Social Security Disability benefits can be daunting, with intricate rules and paperwork. Many applicants go through this process alone, only to find themselves overwhelmed and facing potential denials.
According to the Social Security Administration (SSA), disability claims were denied on average 67 percent from 2010 through 2019. This highlights the need for a thorough understanding of the application process and accuracy in completing it to secure the benefits you deserve.
Hiring an experienced attorney can streamline the process and significantly increase your chances of a successful claim. At Bowman, DePree & Murphy, we are exclusively focused on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and Veteran (VA) Disability claims. Our team has handled thousands of claims and appeals.
