In my disability practice I regularly get calls and emails from potential clients who have not yet filed an application for benefits. Is there anything that a disability lawyer can do for you when you first apply? Is there any reason to wait to apply? In this episode I try to answer these questions.
Here is the email that prompted me to address this topic:
Dear Jonathan: I have been putting off filing a disability claim because I keep thinking that I will be able to go back to work. I am a 48 year old woman, my career is as an executive assistant. I have not been able to hold a full-time job since 2002. I have been living with anxiety and panic disorder, in varying degrees, for most of my life, in addition to depression. I would like to file a strong initial claim and hope that I am not denied. I have been researching for a lawyer to represent me. I don’t want to work with a large firm. Your website has been the most informative that I have found. Are you able to help me file the initial claim?
