One in four people will at some time develop a disability that makes them unable to work, and filing for disability benefits may be the only way for them to get financial compensation. Sadly, many people find it very challenging to navigate the process of getting approved for the benefits they desperately need.
You may be curious about what happens after you get a fully favorable disability decision, and a Social Security lawyer, like the attorneys working at Morgan & Morgan, can be instrumental in assisting you with navigating this process and better preparing you for what to expect.
The primary goal is to get disability approval to allow you to receive compensation to pay for your loss of income. After the Social Security Administration reviews your case and evaluates all details of your disability benefits application, you will receive what is known as a notice of decision letter in the mail. In the event that you have received a fully favorable decision, your application was approved with your original date of disability onset. This information would have been provided by you in your initial application.
After any relevant waiting period or elimination period has ended, you would then begin receiving disability benefits. Figuring out what happens after you get a fully favorable disability decision is important because this is the optimal outcome or a submission of your disability. If you got a fully favorable decision, no further action is required from you at this point in time. However, many people who submit their disability application do not receive a fully favorable outcome. If you did not receive a favorable decision or only a partly approved decision, you might want to evaluate your options with a Social Security lawyer.
A Social Security lawyer can review the specifics of your case and let you know if your application was wrongly denied. The support of a knowledgeable and dedicated social security lawyer can greatly reduce your stress and better prepare you for the process ahead. Engaging a lawyer now puts you in the best possible situation to recover compensation and ultimately get to that fully favorable decision that you need.
