APPROVAL STEPS

" We will reform Social Security and Medicare, sparing our children from struggles we have the power to prevent."  -George W. Bush 

5-Step Benefit Decision

The Social Security Administration currently determines if you are disabled using a 5-step process.  Each step is broken down into categories to best determine your eligibility for benefits. At each phase of a disability claim, there is an adjudicator or decision-maker. At the Initial Application and Reconsideration phases, the decision-maker is a Disability Determination Service (DDS) Examiner who works in consultation with a DDS Physician. At the hearing phase, the decision-maker is the Administrative Law Judge who often consults with a Medical Expert (ME). The following evaluation is employed by the adjudicator at each phase. 

GETTING STARTED IS SIMPLE.

The first step in our process is to provide a free, no-obligation case assessment to determine your eligibility for Social Security disability benefits.
