Are you disabled and no longer able to work? Applying for Social Security
Disability (SSD) benefits is the next logical step to take, but the application
process is far from easy. In fact, the average final award rate for disabled
workers from 2001 through 2010 was only 45%. According to the Social Security
Administration (SSA), an average of only 28% of initial worker Social
Security Disability claims were approved during that same time period.
This means, statistically, that you have about a 1 in 5 chance of having
your initial application approved and less than a 1 in 2 chance that your
final result will be a positive one.
An Allentown Social Security Disability lawyer at Knafo Law Offices can help if you need to pursue disability benefits. We understand these proceedings and can help to turn the tables in your favor. The above statistics are disheartening, but properly filing your SSD application with all necessary medical documentation will greatly increase your chances of an approval.
