Knowledge is Power (Part 1)

The Best Social Security Disability Arguments: Knowledge is Power (part 1)

Social Security has created or promulgated a large number of rules to determine whether an individual is or would have been considered disabled. These rules are known as the Social Security Rules or SSRs. The majority of legal arguments that lawyers and representatives make for a client’s disability case stem from these rules. This blog post is the beginning of a blog series, in which we will explain how each rule is interpreted by the Social Security Administration, and what you can do as the Disability Claimant to strengthen your case and improve your chances of obtaining a disability approval.

To start, there are a very large number of Social Security Rules, and these rules can be very complicated, even to the well trained Representative or Attorney. In this series we will attempt to simplify the rules as much as possible and focus on only the most important parts from each rule. Like most laws, these rules can be extremely lengthy and involve information that is not necessarily the most useful for your case. Unlike most laws, however, these rules are technically considered policies, and are thus, interpreted by the Social Security Administration to determine the actual meaning of each rule or policy.

The topics that we will discuss in upcoming posts for this series include such common issues as pain and how it affects your ability to concentrate, the necessity of maintaining focus or concentration in general, sight limitations, the different ways that physical and mental conditions can be used to create arguments for disability, and many other concepts. The goal of this series is to empower you, as the disability claimant, to take this process into your own hands and prevent the unfortunate scenario where you are denied and have to potentially wait years for appeals to result in a final approval decision. If you have any questions about the topics addressed in this series, please feel free to contact us at Mission Possible and we will do our best to explain how you can use this knowledge to improve your chances of receiving disability.
