Download or read book The Wilborn Method Social Security Disability a Step By Step Guide to Getting Your Benefits written by Ralph Wilborn and published by . This book was released on 2014-03-07 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: UPDATED FOR 2014! Co-authored by a former Social Security Judge, this book is a how-to manual for (non-blind) disabled adult claimants who are applying for Social Security Disability or SSI benefits and whose claims are at the initial application level. A recent study revealed that about 6 of every 10 disability applications were denied at the initial level. Even worse, only about 1 in 4 of those denied claims ever was won on appeal. In other words, if you don't win at the initial level, there's only about a 1 in 4 chance you ever will! You need to make your strongest case at the initial application level, where your chances of winning are best. But how? First, you need to understand the process. Most of what claimants do at the initial application stage is answer questions on forms. Unassisted and virtually blindfolded, most applicants answer Social Security's questions incorrectly, inadequately, incompletely, or inappropriately. Too often, this leads to an undeserved denial. This book shows how to respond to each question on Social Security's 4 major forms, so you can maximize your chances of winning at the initial application level, when your chances of winning are greatest. Second, you need to take action. Many claimants take a wait-and-see approach: They wait until Social Security denies the claim at least once before they try to understand the process or get help. But by then, it's often too late. For those claimants, the best chance of winning is gone. And they may have damaged their claims beyond repair by giving inaccurate, uninformed, or incomplete answers. We wrote The Wilborn Method to help disabled people understand and complete Social Security's forms so they maximize their chances of winning at the initial application level. A self-help Social Security disability book should show you what you have to do to win your case! That is what this book does. We explain the disability process and the rules for proving you're disabled. We start with 11 chapters explaining the basics you need to know as you start the disability claim process. Then we guide you, question-by-question, through Social Security's 4 major forms. We answer three questions you must ask yourself when you read the questions on Social Security's forms: 1) Why is Social Security asking these specific questions? 2) How will Social Security use the answers? and 3) How much detail does Social Security need? We show you how to answer each question so you give a complete and accurate picture of your impairments, your limitations, your education, and your work history. We explain which of Social Security's questions aren't really asking what they appear to be asking, and we explain how to avoid getting trapped in wrong or inconsistent answers. For Social Security, the third party witness questionnaire can be a rich source of contradictions-contradictions that often are used to deny claims. We discuss ways to make this questionnaire work for you, instead of against you. To prove you're disabled, you must have medical evidence. We explain what your doctors should and should not do to help prove you're disabled. We even have two forms you can use to get useful and meaningful opinions from your doctors. The value of our guidance doesn't end at the initial application level. If you have to appeal your case, these forms stay in the record for as long as your case is appealed! At the hearing level, Social Security's judges look carefully at the answers on the initial level forms. They use careless or uninformed answers on these forms to deny disability claims. Giving inadequate answers on Social Security's initial level forms hurts more than your chances of winning early-it also can cripple your chances of winning later. Whether or not you hire a representative to help you, if you follow the instructions in The Wilborn Method, you'll avoid common mistakes that may harm your case. You'll also give the necessary details to improve your chances of winning quickly.

Download or read book An Insider s Guide to Social Security Disability written by Charles Richfield and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-09-24 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here's how YOU can avoid the mistakes that cause many disability claims to be wrongly denied. Did you know that more than half of those who apply for Social Security or SSI disability and receive a medical decision are eventually APPROVED? However, it is also true that only about 35% of people filing for benefits are approved the first time they apply. This means that many cases are denied the first time and then approved after filing an appeal. Why are so many claims denied the first time? In many cases, the initial application is just not filled out correctly. No matter how severe your medical problems are, if you don't explain them well enough and provide the right information when you apply, your claim can be denied. As a former Social Security Claims Representative who recently retired after 25 years of handling disability claims, the author of this book can offer you the benefit of his experience by walking you step-by-step through the application process. In this simple, easy to follow, no-nonsense guide, Charles Richfield focuses on what you really need to know as a claimant for disability. He does not waste your time with useless information about the history of Social Security, and does his best not to confuse you with unnecessary details about rules, regulations and exceptions that don't apply to most people applying for benefits; this is NOT a training manual! You will learn and understand: -The basic types of disability benefits and how to qualify for them -How the medical decision is made -How to decide if you need a lawyer -What you need to do even BEFORE you file the application -How to go about filing your own application without even coming into an office -What you need to know about applying in person or by phone -What you need to do while your application is waiting for a medical decision -What to expect if your application is approved -The best ways to file effective appeal requests that will maximize your chances of being approved In addition, the author has included a Special Bonus Section near the end of the book which not only gives you expert advice about filling out the medical and work history sections of the Adult Disability Report; it also explains how you can find out EXACTLY what kinds of medical records and test results the examiner will be looking for according to the type of illness or injury you have. That information alone could help you provide the examiner with the proof needed to approve your claim! If you or someone you know is unable to work because of injury or illness, don't wait! You can lose hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars in disability benefits if you wait too long to apply-it happens to other people much too often. File that application as soon as you can, but also make sure you fill it out THE RIGHT WAY from the start! This book will help you to do just that.
