Was Your Claim Denied? We Can Help.
The Social Security Disability/Supplemental Security Income (SSD/SSI) process is difficult to navigate on your own. Even if you are clearly disabled and cannot return to work, your claim may be denied. Most people benefit from working with a lawyer who is experienced with SSD/SSI.
The Robert A. Koenigsberg Law Offices represents injured, ill and disabled persons who are seeking SSD/SSI benefits. We know how to present the medical information the Social Security Administration (SSA) wants to see. We can also help you with denials, hearings and appeals. For a free consultation with a New York City Social Security Disability hearing attorney, please call 212-964-9292 or contact us online.
What Happens at the Hearing
If your application for SSD/SSI benefits has been denied, you may request a disability hearing before an administrative law judge. You have only 60 days from receiving the denial to request this hearing, so it is important that you do not delay. Working with an SSD/SSI attorney prior to the administrative law judge hearing is usually a good idea. We have represented hundreds of people at disability benefits hearings. We understand the importance of gathering the appropriate medical evidence and other required information.
The administrative law judge will not have prior knowledge of your case, so you must make sure that your file includes all relevant information. In addition, you may present new information about your condition at this hearing. Gathering the proper medical reports and forms necessary for a disability hearing can be challenging if you are new to the process. However, with our assistance, you can present a compelling case.
You should also be well prepared to speak with the judge at the hearing. The judge will ask you questions about your condition(s) and how it affects your ability to work. We will prepare you for these questions so you feel comfortable answering them. We will also attend the hearing with you and help to explain your case to the judge.
