As with many subjects, there are certain actions you can do and ones you shouldn’t do, in the area of Social Security benefits. By touching on some of these do’s and don’ts, I hope to increase your understanding of the system and avoid some of the problems that can arise. 

The first and foremost “do” is to ask an experienced Arkansas social security disability lawyer any and all questions you have regarding Social Security disability. There are many rules and regulations and understanding these will assist you and your attorney to get the benefits you need.

Do apply for benefits as soon as you are disabled. There is a 5 month waiting period until your first payment will be made, so it is important to act quickly. Don’t apply for Social Security disability benefits if you are partially disabled or your disability is short-term. Benefits will only be paid for individuals who suffer a total disability. 

Don’t give up if your initial claim is denied as this is not uncommon. At Angel Disability Law, I am fully prepared to go the through the 4-level appeals process in order to obtain your benefits.
