Disability Claims Application

Florida Disability Application Lawyer

Tampa Bay Social Security Disability lawyer, Sharon Barrett, knows that completely and accurately filing out your disability claim application can increase your chances that your claim will be accepted. Sharon Barrett, who has over 30 years experience with the Social Security Disability process, concentrates her practice on representing clients seeking Social Security Disability benefits (SSDI). Cavey and Barrett's free book "Your Rights to Social Security Disability Benefits" will help you understand the processing of filing out your disability forms, the process of obtaining benefits and your rights if you are denied Social Security Disability Benefits.

How to Fill Out the Disability Application

Filing out the disability application requries preparation! You must put together a list of your employers for the last 15 years, what your job duties were, what medical providers you have seen for your medical condition, what medication you are taking and what prevents you from working. Sharon Barrett, a Florida Disability Application lawyer, will assist you in completing your disability claims application and will obtain the necessary information to explain how your medical condition entitles you to Social Security disability benefits (SSDI benefits).

Your Medical History

The Social Security Administration (SSA) must understand your medical condiition- they must picture how your condition makes you unable to work. Saying you can't work is NOT enough to win your claim. At Cavey and Barrett, your Tampa Social Security lawyer, we obtain your medical records and have your doctor complete a Residual Functional Capacity form that explains your limitations. The Social Security Administration (SSA) will never send your doctor one of these forms and most doctors don't even know what these forms look like! We review your medical records and help develop the medical evidence that paints the complete picture of your medical condition.

Work History and Education

Being unable to find a job or even hold a job isn't enough to qualify you for Social Security disabiity benefits. The Social Security Administration (SSA) will determine if your can go back to the lighest job you held in the last 15 years. It is important to show what your job duties have been and how your disability makes you unable to perform those job duties or duties you are qualified to perform. Sharon Barrett, a St. Petersburg, Florida Social Security Disability Lawyer, will fully develop your work history and education for the the Social Security Administration (SSA).

Ability to Do Other Work

If you are unabel to do the lightest job you have held in the last 15 years, you still must show that your age, education, and limitations prevent you from finding employment in the national economy or that you have the experience neessary to change careers. Florida Disability Application lawyer Sharon Barrett gathers the medical and vocational evidence the Social Security Administration (SSA) looks for to meet this test.
