Ms. Harrison is a member of the National Organization of Social Security Claimant’s Representatives which you can access at http://www.nosscr.org.

This organization was established in 1979, and is an association of more than 3,900 attorneys and other advocates who represent Social Security and Supplemental Security Income claimants. Their members are committed to providing high quality representation for claimants, to maintaining a system of full and fair adjudication for every claimant, and to advocating for beneficial change in the disability determination and adjudication process.

You can contact the Social Security Administration at www.socialsecurity.gov. You may also call them 1-800-772-1213 between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

You can also access the monthly Social Security Forum publication for more information from the National Organization of Social Security Claimant’s Representatives at http://www.nosscr.org.

If you are disabled and unable to work, call the Social Security Administration to make your application. You may call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday or at http://www.socialsecurity.gov.

The appeal process is very technical and cumbersome and consists of three stages:

1)  The initial applications for Social Security Disability are generally denied in the State of Georgia;
2)  The second stage is the Request for Reconsideration. Most people at this stage are again denied.
3)  The third stage is your best possibility of success by requesting a hearing before the Administration Law Judge.

“The law defines disability as the inability to do substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. To meet this definition, you must have severe impairment which makes you unable to do your previous work or any other substantial gainful activity which exists in the national economy.”

Your chances of receiving Social Security Disability are greatly enhanced when you have a lawyer. The success rate with an attorney is as high as 90%.

Note:    There is no charge by our firm for an initial consultation and attorney’s fees are not charged unless or until a claim is successful.  These charges, if any, are approved by Social Security to ensure fairness.  The fee is generally 25% of any past due benefit received by the Claimant but not greater than $5,200.00.  If your case is not successful,  you are not charged any fee.
