Summary:
A former Social Security Administration (SSA) attorney goes behind the scenes to show you why its so difficult to win a Social Security Disability case. Working as an Attorney Advisor for over 10 years, the author drafted and reviewed thousands of disability decisions. During this time, he learned why the system is stacked against the claimant throughout the process. After he left SSA, he wanted to make this knowledge available to everyone.
In this book, theauthor reveals the inner workings of the disability system, explaining how the system works and doesnt. Using hypothetical examples and a glossary, this book breaks down the complicated disability rules, timelines, jargon, and processes.
After reading this book, you will better understand what claimants go through, why the Social Security regulations make it so difficult to file and win a disability case, and what you can do to improve your chances of success. The author presents the timeline of a typical case, and takes you through a disability hearing. These insights will help you protect your rights, and will help you present the best possible case to the Judge.

- Why most disability claims are initially denied
