 Your case is going to court. Did you know that if you apply for social security disability benefits, there's a big chance that your case is going to end up in front of a federal administrative law judge? That's right. Social security denies the vast majority of their cases, anywhere from 65 to 70 percent. My name's Tony Vieira. I'm an attorney with 22 years of social security experience and I'm here to share with you three things, just three quick things that if you do this will greatly improve your chances of winning your court case. Number one, remember it's your responsibility to keep your medical record up to date. Early on in that social security process, social security requested the records for you. However, now that you're going to court, it is up to you to make sure that the judge has all the information he or she requires to know how you've been doing. Number two, get statements of support from family, friends and your doctors. This is real important. You are trying to create for this judge an accurate picture of the kind of person you are and from your doctors, it's important not just to confirm what's wrong with you and what your diagnosis is, but exactly how it affects you and how it limits you at work. Number three, talk to an experienced lawyer. Your case is going to go to court. You're going to want to have an attorney to speak with to make sure that you have everything you need and you don't just have to take my word for it. The social security administration and federal government studies show that people that talk to lawyers and have representation are up to three times as likely to get approved as someone without an attorney.
