Applying for Disability in New York
Applying for Social Security Disability (SSD) can seem straightforward. But, it is not. There are forms to fill out and you need your doctor to be able to confirm your disability to their satisfaction. Your doctor knows your medical history better than anyone. Why would the Social Security Administration (SSA) not accept your doctor's diagnosis?
The fact of the matter is that a very high percentage of initial applications for SSD are rejected. This is not due to the fact that the disabling conditions cited were not real. Typically, initial applications for benefits are rejected because of the strict rules and procedures that the SSA has in place to govern how an evaluation of a disability claim is conducted.
At Olinsky Law Group, our New York SSD attorneys filed more SSD cases in New York State with the federal appeals court than any other firm in 2010. We have been helping people to secure the SSD benefits that they deserve since 1986.
