If you’ve ever breathed next to an insurance sales person, you’ll understand what I’m about to say. When you do file a claim, the insurance companies don’t trust you. To say the least, the first thing they want to do is look for loopholes. And, God forbid, if when it ever comes to claiming your social security disability, it’s more or less the same scene.
I remember reading that up to 70 per cent of disability claims are turned down during the initial scrutiny. One reason could be that the government is weed out, or discourage bogus claims, but it is still a time consuming process either way.
The majority of us, who would be in a situation to claim to social security disability would be baby boomers. In other words, the Internet filing, reprocessing, fighting denials, etc., don’t work very well for us. What I’d do in such a situation would be to talk to someone who knows what it’s all about and how to go about it. Good and sincere professional help is available on the Web these days.
