Obtaining Social Security Disability Benefits Quickly When Your Case is Considered a "Critical Case"

As an attorney handling Social Security Disability cases I have been successful in obtaining benefits for my clients quickly when I determine that their cases are “critical cases.”

Having an attorney represent you on a Social Security Disability claim is more important than ever. Our office provides free initial consultations, so clients can openly discuss all of their options. During my first meeting with a new client, I spend at least an hour getting to know them, reviewing the medical records they bring to my office, reviewing whatever copies of Social Security documents the client has and asking specific questions to determine if this client has a "critical case." If I determine that the case is in fact a "critical case," the client is entitled to expedite the hearing process.

What is a “critical case?”

The Social Security Administration recognizes that a claimant filing for Disability benefits or waiting for a determination can face dire circumstances that warrant their cases being decided without further delay or waiting.

There are four situations where a claimant may be entitled to immediate action by the local, regional or hearing office:

1. If the claimant’s condition becomes terminal;
2. If the claimant is without and unable to obtain food, shelter and medications / treatment of illnesses;
3. If the claimant becomes suicidal or homicidal;
4. If  there has been a lengthy delay as compared to the average processing time in the local area and there has been a public, congressional or other high priority inquiry in the case.

As soon as I determine a client meets any of the above requirements, I then act quickly to provide the necessary documentation to prove the case is critical and worthy of immediate action.

At a time when claimants in the St. Petersburg/Clearwater/Tampa area are forced to wait over two years for a decision in their cases, I am eager to do all I can to help get their cases decided as quickly as possible. Make sure you hire an attorney who knows when and how to move your case through the appeal process quickly. Make sure your attorney takes enough time with you to learn everything needed to obtain the evidence needed to, not only win your Social Security case, but to obtain a favorable decision for you as soon as is possible.

I invite you to contact my office if you are in need of hiring an attorney to help you obtain Social Security Disability benefits and to get your case decided as quickly as is possible.
