 The government is not your friend. When you are applying for Social Security Disability Benefits, the government is not there to do the work for you. I'm here to share with you three secrets that's going to help you get the disability benefits you're entitled to. My name's Tony Vier. I'm an attorney with 22 years experience handling cases just like yours. I've handled cases from the initial application all the way through the court hearing. And there are three big things that can be used to deny your case that I'm going to share with you. Number one, make sure you completely fill out your application. It's going to be very important that you comply with the process. I know it's arduous. I know there's a lot going on, but Social Security has a form that they need you to fill out completely. It's also important when they send you out forms or when they ask you to go see their doctors that you comply to the best of your ability. Because if you don't, guess what? They use that as a reason to deny you. Number two, if you are denied, it's important that you file an appeal. You have the right to request a reconsideration of that denial. You even have the right to go in front of a judge. You don't have to take this sitting down. If you are denied, you have the right to ask them to review that decision and fix it. The third secret, it is important that you correctly articulate what is wrong with you. You don't just want to let them know what your diagnosis is. This is the federal government. They have codes. They have forms. They have red tape. The key is you need to make sure that in their terminology, you let them know not just what your condition is, but how it limits your ability to work. Because what you're trying to prove isn't just that you have a condition. You're trying to prove that you cannot hold down a full-time job. I know this is a lot of information. I know that this can be difficult to do. If you need help with a disability claim or if you know someone that does, please reach out to us. We are here to help.
