Fatal Mistakes Social Security Disability Claimants Make
This is a short list of mistakes we have seen our clients
make over the years. Whether you are our client, another
lawyer's client or simply trying to represent yourself in
a claim for Social Security Disability benefits, you
should read this list carefully and maybe you can avoid
making one of these "fatal" mistakes.
Please call or write us if you have questions about this
or any other legal matter.
- Not being completely
honest with their lawyer regarding medical conditions,
work status and drug or alcohol use.
- Not going to the
doctor regularly or not taking all the medications
prescribed by the doctor.
- Not attending all
meetings scheduled with their lawyer.
- Not keeping Social
Security and their lawyer informed of their current
address and telephone number.

that would cause Social Security to question their
credibility.

untruthful during their hearing with the Administrative
Law Judge.
