Riverside Social Security Disability Claims

     The first step in getting your Riverside Social Security Disability benefits is filing a Social Security Disability Claim. This should be done as soon as possible after you’re disabled as you can only go back seventeen (17) months. Your Riverside SSD Claim should be absolutely truthful. You should consult an experienced Riverside Social Security Disability attorney to help you with your initial claim.

     Next, all correspondence from Social Security should be answered promptly, accurately and truthfully. The Riverside Social Security Disability office may schedule one or more appointments with physicians, which you must attend. If you cannot attend, you must notify the Riverside SSD office. When you do attend your medical appointment, answer the questions honestly. If you are asked to take a test as part of a psychological evaluation, give it your best effort. If you do not put forth your best effort, the examiner can comment that you did not try. This can be the basis for denial of a Riverside SSD Claim.

     If you receive a denial of your Riverside Social Security Disability Claim, you must appeal it within 60 days after receipt. The Social Security Disability Administration will assume you received the letter 5 days after the date on the letter. You should contact a Riverside SSD attorney to handle your appeal.  

     Eventually, you will be scheduled for a Riverside Social Security Disability hearing. If you have not yet done so, you should contact an experienced Riverside SSD attorney to represent you at your SSD hearing.

     Statistics show that you have a much greater chance of winning your Riverside Social Security Disability claim if you are represented by a competent and experienced Riverside SSD attorney.

If you are disabled and cannot work contact a Riverside Social Security Disability Attorney.
