It has never been harder to get approved for disability benefits throughout the country. The denial rate in NC is particularly high, and most initial applications are denied. This reiterates the importance of hiring a professional attorney to file your disability claim, and to help with your appeal if denied. Even with a qualified attorney, you may be denied disability in NC. Most cases are denied initially but it does not mean you will never receive benefits.

The Guidance of a Skilled Attorney
An experienced attorney can guide you through the entire process of filing a claim to receiving disability benefits. They are helpful from the beginning of the process, until the very end. Consider that they understand Social Security’s rules and regulations and can form a winning strategy and argument for you. A competent attorney will make sure you are informed of each and every legal step and that you are aware of what is needed to support your claim.
What Type of Evidence Is Required?
When filing for disability benefits, there is a lot of evidence that must be given to support your claim. This includes both employment and medical documents. An expert attorney knows how to compile all of this evidence that will support your claim and support the argument as to why you are disabled based on Social Security’s rules and regulations.
