Ways a Disability Attorney Can Speed Up Your Claim

Accurate and Complete Applications

One of the top reasons claims are delayed or denied is due to errors or missing information. A lawyer makes sure everything is submitted correctly and completely the first time.

Organizing Medical Evidence Quickly
Attorneys know exactly what the Social Security Administration (SSA) looks for in medical records. They’ll help you collect and organize documentation that supports your claim—saving you time.

Flagging Critical Cases

If your condition is severe or terminal, your attorney can request Compassionate Allowances (CAL) or TERI (Terminal Illness) processing, which can fast-track your application.

Following Up With the SSA

Lawyers know how to navigate SSA channels and can follow up directly with decision-makers to keep your case moving.

Avoiding Unnecessary Appeals

Mistakes in the initial application often lead to lengthy appeals. A good attorney helps you avoid those mistakes, reducing the chances you'll need to go through a second or third round of applications.
