disability lawyer

[Guest guest]

FYI to anyone trying to get disability. I filed and got turned down, so this

time I've hired an attorney who specializes in disability cases. Looks like

this is the way to go...wish I had used her the first time I filed. She told

me that Tennessee (I live in Memphis) is at the top of the list of states

where it is almost impossible to get on disability. She said 95% will get

turned down on the second application! If that happens, we have to go before

a judge...and all this could take up to a year for all this to happen. This

is no fun. Anyway..I highly recommend an attorney when you file.

Hi Colleen and all!

I completely agree with you on hiring a disability lawyer! I was

told the exact thing (I'm in Texas), that it's almost impossible to

get disability without a lawyer. A year ago I filed for disability

myself...and was turned down twice. I then had a lawyer file, and

I'm finally making progress with the social security office. It

really looks like I should get disability in the very near future.

Best wishes,

Kacey
