What is the role of a claimants attorney before the Social Security Administration?
Should you decide to hire an attorney, the attorney will receive a copy of everything the Social Security Administration sends you regarding your benefits. Therefore, the attorney is able to keep track of everything that is happening in your claim. Furthermore, an attorney is able to make sure that your appeals are filed in a timely manner, as you only have 60 days from each denial to file an appeal. Finally, an attorney can help gather all of the medical evidence, prepare your testimony for the hearing, and argue your case in front of the Administrative Law Judge.
