Social Security Disability and Social Security Income applications can be denied over the smallest mistake. Having worked on thousands of cases, Quatrini Law Group has assembled some tips to ensure we have all the information we need to build the strongest case for you.
Tips for Sharing information with your Quratini Team
Your attorney, paralegal, and secretary work together on your case as a legal team. You can be assured that all information you provide is shared with all members of the team, but remains confidential.
No one knows your situation better than you
You know important information about your symptoms and your health history. Tell us so that we can better help you!
Be Honest and Thorough About Symptoms
Even if something makes you feel embarrassed or uncomfortable, it is important that you convey all information related to your case.
Keep your whole team in the loop
Please keep us up to date with any changes in your condition and/or treatment. It is not necessary for you to provide this information directly to the attorney or paralegal — you may provide it to the legal assistant.
Tips for keep track of all your information
Your application and appeal will require A LOT of information. Your symptoms, treatment, and medication may change along the way. We recommend gathering information in one place so you have it with you when you speak to a team member.
Keep an on-going list of your medications
Remember to always bring an up-to-date list of your medications to all of your appointments.
Keep Copies of All SSA Correspondence and medical records
For each appointment, bring any information you have which is important to your claim such as copies of medical records, your resume, or the statement you receive from the Social Security Administration setting forth your yearly earnings.
Tips for getting clear answers quickly from your Quatrini team
Communication is essential to a smooth application and appeals process. You will have questions for us and we will have questions for you, but we all have the same goal – to get you your benefits.
Notes help to keep track of all that information.
It is helpful to write down your questions before you come for an appointment and to take notes so you can refer back to them when you get home.
You can help us to respond to your questions faster
If you need to leave a message, please be detailed and provide your full name, telephone number, and details of why you are calling. For example, tell us “Dr. Smith ordered an X-ray of my back and it was done on June 1st at Westmoreland Hospital.” These details are incredibly helpful.
We’re always happy to answer questions
We want to be sure that we are handling your case to your satisfaction. If you don’t understand what you are being told, please let us know. It is okay to ask.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
