We, at Cavey and Barrett, believe that finding the right Social Security representative can help you through the Social Security Disability process quickly and give you a sense of confidence and peace of mind.

Without Social Security Disability income benefits and Medicare assistance, you might not be able to make ends meet and get the medical treatment you desperately need.

1. Ask whether the attorney has experience representing someone who has your medical condition.

Did you know that there is a disability impairment guide with hundreds of medical conditions from psychiatric conditions, to back injuries, to arthritis, to diabetes and everything in between.

It is important that each case be personalized so that the Social Security Administration understands your unique medical and vocational situation. One size doesn’t fit all!

1. Keeping you informed about the progress of  your Social Security Disability claim.

At Cavey and Barrett, we provide regular in person meetings and phone calls with our clients. We copy you with all of the correspondence in your case. Communication is key to a winning Social Security Disability case.

1. Their success rate.

If an attorney advertises that 100% of every Social Security claim was won, you know that doesn’t happen. However, you should make sure that the attorney who represents you has a great success rate in getting the client Social Security Disability benefits.

If you’ve applied for Social Security Disability benefits and are 55 years or older, unable to perform your past relevant work, and are limited to unskilled work, you might be entitled to what’s called “on the record” decision. This is a request, made prior to a hearing by your attorney for a fully favorable decision granting your Social Security Disability claim. An “on the record” decision is granted when there is clear cut evidence of your functional limitations and it’s clear that once the Social Security Administration went through the 5 Step Sequential Evaluation, you’d be found disabled.

At Cavey and Barrett, we prepare a written hearing memorandum prior to the administrative hearing in front of the Social Security judge. We ask the judge to read the memorandum, review your disability claim and issue an on the record decision without having a hearing.

At Cavey and Barrett, we know that one way to get rid of your sleepless nights while you are waiting for your Social Security Disability benefits is to request an on the record decision prior to your Social Security Disability hearing. Need help with your Social Security disability claim? Contact us today or call 727-894-3188 now.
