Based on the most recent statistics only about 25 percent of those that apply for Social Security disability benefits have their claim approved when they first submit it, the other 75 percent of applicants find that their claim is rejected and sent back to them. Part of the package of information that accompanies the rejection notice is information on appealing the decision. If you are of the opinion that you have a valid claim, this is the ideal time to talk to a Social Security attorney in Tennessee.
There can be significant benefits to engaging a skilled Social Security attorney but of course, there is a cost involved. As the legal fees that the attorney can charge are set by federal law, they are quite straight forward and easy to understand. The fee structure is either 25 percent of the back pay you are awarded or $6,000; whichever is less. As a Social Security attorney in Tennessee works on contingency, which simply means that he or she gets paid when they win your case on your behalf, as a result you can hire a seasoned attorney for little up-front money.
Reasons for hiring a Social Security attorney:
* There are many benefits to hiring an attorney to help you deal with your appeal. Of all the reasons the best one is that your chances of getting approval at the appeals stage are far better than if you went it alone. Sure; there are people that do go it alone and succeed but once again, statistics show that the Administration is far more likely to grant approval to a claimant that is represented by an attorney.
* A Social Security attorney in Tennessee understands the system, he or she knows how to prepare and present your appeal in the best light and you can rest assured that when you reach the stage where you are invited to a hearing that your attorney will have prepared you to answer the questions honestly but forcefully.
Engaging the services of a knowledgeable attorney is in your best interest, the chances of your being approved for benefits are far better and the fee is payable from your initial award.
