Here's the honest truth: Most of the decisions issued in Alabama about Social Security disability are wrong. Not some, most.
That leads me to my premise: Appeal first, ask questions later.
Well, maybe it's OK to ask a few questions first.
But ultimately, you won't get any benefits until you appeal. You will take your case before a US Administrative Law Judge, who will hold a hearing, listen to all the evidence and give you a fair decision.
"That's fine," you say, "but can I afford this appeal?"
Yes, you can. Social Security does not permit an attorney's fee unless you win the appeal and get a back pay settlement. So, if you fail to get money out of Social Security, you don't pay a red cent. Nothing.
So...here's the "take away." You can't afford not to appeal.
