With all the information available on the internet about Social Security disability, I do not understand why a person could not easily handle his own case. How hard could it be?
There is not a requirement anywhere that a person has to have an attorney represent them. In fact, we have heard of people who have been successful at handling their own cases. However, we have also seen people lose benefits or be denied altogether because they handled their case themselves. We have also seen cases that had been started by a claimant that were not “fixable” by an attorney. In our opinion, It is important to get an experienced attorney to guide you through the process right away.
