Quick Tips For Winning Your SSDI Claim

There are many components to a Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) claim, and without an attorney’s help, you may not be getting the maximum amount of benefits you deserve for your claim. At Gesmer & Reynolds, P.C., we have a proven track record representing Illinois clients in SSDI, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims, administrative law judge (ALJ) hearings and appeals and more.

Simply put, the best thing you can do to help win your SSDI claim is to hire an attorney. An experienced attorney will understand the legal process and how to prepare for hearings and know what questions will be asked.

Here are some other tips that can help your SSDI claim:

1. Seek consistent medical treatment. If you stop getting treatment or only get treatment sporadically, it could hurt your claim.

2. Take prescribed medications. Not taking your medication and failing to follow up for appointments can be detrimental to your claim.

3. Have an advocate. Legal representation can help with all aspects of your claim. Whether it’s determining the status of your claim, explaining the requirements for SSDI benefits or handling an appeal on your behalf, our lawyers ask the right questions and know how to effectively represent individuals facing complicated legal issues involving SSDI.
